News
Pete Aguilar is being mentioned in coverage about House Democrats and questions around the Democratic Socialists of America’s new platform, though the report does not say he commented on it. He is also tied to an investigation into allegations that detainees at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center were placed in solitary confinement after speaking with members of Congress. The reports suggest he is involved in oversight and immigration-related issues, but the details on his direct role are limited.
