U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is being praised by critics of Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva after asking federal authorities on Wednesday to investigate claims that a “rogue, violent gang” of deputies is operating within the Sheriff’s Department’s Compton station.
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, Waters requested the U.S. Department of Justice probe the alleged existence of a group called the “Executioners” and “launch a pattern or practice investigation into the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department for potential civil rights and constitutional violations.”
