Congressional Democrats launch probe into efforts to deport US military members and their families

Congressional Democrats are investigating efforts by the Trump administration to deport military service members and their families, following an Associated Press report detailing detentions of over 50 active-duty troops' spouses and parents. In a letter sent to several agencies, lawmakers questioned potential coordination between DHS and the Pentagon on these deportation efforts, warning that such actions imperil military readiness and weaken service members’ morale.
