As we have done before, we went to conduct lawful congressional oversight—to do our jobs and demand answers for our constituents. We were met with contempt, disrespect, and aggression from ICE. From roughing up members of congress to arresting the mayor of our state’s largest city, there is no version of today that does not show the blatant abuses of power of the Trump administration. Americans should be outraged—democracy demands transparency, not fear and force. No agency and no administration should be allowed to operate in darkness.” Print Email Share Previous Article Next Article About Contact Media Issues Services
