April 23, 2025 Congresswoman Norma Torres Condemns CBP Detainment of Laborers in Pomona Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Norma J. Torres issued the following statement in response to the detainment of a group of day laborers by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) outside the Home Depot in Pomona: The use of federal agents to target workers outside of a hardware store sends a chilling message to every immigrant in our district. It is cruel, it is unnecessary, and it is absolutely unacceptable. My office stands firmly with our immigrant community. We will not sit by while fear is sown in our neighborhoods. I am demanding answers from CBP and will be working with local leaders to ensure accountability and protection for those targeted. My office is actively working to confirm all details surrounding the situation. We are committed to providing accurate and timely information as it becomes available. ### Print Email Share Tweet
