Assessments
Subramanyam, while serving in the relevant federal office, materially carried out the promised oversight action by joining lawmakers in opening an investigation and sending demands for FBI/DOJ Civil Rights Division review, DHS record preservation, agent-identifying information and answers, and administrative leave for the ICE agents pending review. Agency compliance remained pending, but the promise was framed primarily as pressing and demanding federal action, which he completed in the same term.
