Public forum addressing DHS use-of-force

The backstory:

The forum is expected to feature testimony from three individuals who say they experienced or witnessed excessive force by DHS agents, in addition to the brothers and family lawyer of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

According to the press release, those who are testifying include: 

• Aliya Rahman: A Minneapolis resident with autism and a traumatic brain injury who says she was violently dragged from her car by immigration agents and detained without access to medical care.
• Antonio Romanucci: An attorney representing the family of Renee Good, the Minneapolis resident who was fatally shot by an ICE agent on Jan. 7.
• Brent and Luke Ganger: The brothers of Renee Good.
• Marimar Martinez: A Chicago resident who was shot five times by Customs and Border Patrol agents. She was later charged with assaulting the agents, but all charges were dropped six weeks later.
• Martin Daniel Rascon: A California resident who was traveling with family members and says their vehicle was "unlawfully stopped" by ICE and CBP agents, and a CBP agent reportedly fired on the vehicle multiple times.
• Seth Stoughton: A former police officer and expert on law enforcement's use of force.

The press release also notes that members of the Senate and House of Representatives, including members of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, are expected to attend.
