One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement. Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said.

Senate overturns EPA rule on seven highly toxic air pollutants If also passed by the House as expected, the action will be the first time Congress has weakened protections under the Clean Air Act.

The 52-46 vote delivers a key victory to the fossil fuel & petrochemical sectors that had lobbied against the regulation. It also marks the 1st time in the Clean Air Act’s 55-year history that Congress has scaled back protections under the landmark law.
