Democratic Lawmakers Seek Information on Deportations of Military Personnel

Why it matters locally: While no specific data on Massachusetts military personnel or their families facing deportation is readily available, this inquiry could impact individuals and families within the state who are serving or have served in the U.S. military.

Washington – Congressional Democrats have launched an inquiry into efforts to deport U.S. military members and their families. Democratic lawmakers have sent a letter requesting information regarding these situations. The Pentagon acknowledged receipt of the inquiry. The Pentagon stated it would "reply directly to the authors of the letter" when asked for comment.
