Investivoq AI Summary
Lawmakers seek answers on Forest Service and ICE coordination: A group of U.S. representatives led by Suzan DelBene said they sent a letter to U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz asking for "answers and transparency" about reported immigration enforcement activity on Forest Service lands.
Letter follows Labor Day camping arrests: The lawmakers said the request was prompted by an incident at Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, where five men camping with family members were arrested over Labor Day weekend. They said four remained in ICE detention as of Oct. 1.
Questions focus on authority and resources: The letter asks which agency initiated the investigation, what role Forest Service officers played, what agreements govern coordination with DHS or ICE, and whether agency time or funding has been shifted from other priorities such as wildfire response and public land management.
