发帖数: 61690 | 1 Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly is set to huddle with House Democrats
on Friday amid the party’s outcry over the Trump administration’s
deportation and other immigration policies.
The DHS chief, a retired Marine general, is widely respected across party
lines but is sure to get an earful from the Democrats, who are largely
united in their outrage over President Trump’s aggressive enforcement
actions and executive orders barring refugees and travelers from certain
predominantly Muslim nations.
Last week, in a letter requesting a meeting with Kelly, the Democrats
decried the “alarming” positions adopted by the White House and warned
broadly that the “criminalization” of immigrants has sent waves of fear
through certain communities while saddling local law enforcement with
confusing new demands. The travel ban, they added, “flies in the face” of
the U.S. tradition of “welcoming people in need and people of all
backgrounds,” the Democrats wrote to Kelly.
Spearheaded by Democratic Caucus Chairman Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), the
letter was endorsed by more than 140 Democrats. |
