As a proud immigrant myself, I’ve spent my entire career fighting for the rights of immigrant communities. Now, Donald Trump wants to deport folks for doing the same.
It’s authoritarian, it’s dangerous, and most of all— it’s flat-out illegal.
Wrongly sending an innocent man to rot in a violent mega-prison in El Salvador was just the first step in their lawless crusade against due process, the rule of law, and other core American values. Republicans have made it their intention to inflict the same fate upon American citizens.
You heard that right— the Trump administration is proposing sending any American citizen who does something they don’t like off to a foreign prison 3,000 miles away. That’s the exact definition of tyranny.
Friend, the Congressional Black Caucus has always stood on the right side of history, and I know my daughter Yvette won’t stand by now and let this fascist turn become our reality.
I know Yvette won’t let Donald Trump fill up his quota for human suffering.
