Democratic lawmakers are pressing the Department of Homeland Security for a trove of internal records as part of a congressional probe into the death of a Rohing Myanmar refugee who was detained in a U.S. immigration facility. The request seeks emails, logs and policy manuals that could reveal how the agency handled the detainee’s medical care, whether protocols were followed, and if any negligence contributed to the fatal outcome. Lawmakers argue that transparency is essential to assess the broader treatment of asylum seekers and to address concerns about systemic failures within the immigration system. The move comes amid mounting criticism of U.S. detention practices and heightened scrutiny of how vulnerable migrants are managed by federal authorities.
