U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif, 34th District), whose constituency includes Los Angeles’ Koreatown, has lodged a formal protest with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the detention of two Korean nationals, Taeheung Kim and Yeonsoo Go, raising concerns about unlawful procedures. 

According to Gomez’s office, the letter sent on August 22 to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem highlights procedural violations and calls for an official response from DHS.

“The detainment and treatment of Mr. Kim and Ms. Go, both of whom are in the U.S. legally, is unacceptable,” Gomez told The Korea Daily. “I am demanding accountability from DHS so that Korean Americans, and all immigrants, are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect under the law.”
