LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON ICE ARRESTS

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Donald Trump and his House Republican enablers have weaponized immigration enforcement to aggressively target students in a manner that appears wildly inconsistent with the United States Constitution. The Trump administration has now arrested and detained several lawful permanent residents and students who are in this country legally, without producing evidence of a crime. That is wrong and courts must continue to halt this overreach where no legal basis exists for the administration’s aggressive behavior.
