发帖数: 61690 | 1 House Hispanic Democrats said Thursday that Homeland Security Secretary John
Kelly is shunning their concerns on violations by immigration enforcement
agents.
Kelly met members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) on Capitol Hill
Tuesday, initially softening the Democrats' tone: CHC chairwoman Michelle
Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.) said Kelly "tried much harder to hear us and to be
more respectful that this is a meeting of a collective group about these
issues.”
But members said Thursday that Kelly has been reluctant acknowledge their
claims of wrongdoing by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
CHC members said Kelly was pursuing a policy of "mass deportation," rather
than his stated goal of going after dangerous criminals.
"Now that we have factual evidence we can put the secretary in an
interesting position, because he’s been rebutting, ‘These are the same
policies as the Obama administration,’” said Lujan Grisham.
"Well, guess what?" she added. "We now have data that’s been published out
of February that shows it is so negligible the number of individuals that
have been picked up, detained, and deported for dangerous felonies, that it
’s exactly the opposite." |
