Jose Antonio Vargas: Trump’s Office for Victims of Illegal Crime Is ‘Orwellian’
‘To me, I mean, what it means is that anybody now can be an ICE agent’
RUSH EXCERPT:
VARGAS: "Victims of immigration crime enforcement. I was sitting there and kept repeating that, first of all how Orwellian the whole thing sounds. That was, by the way, the only time that there was an audible grown in the entire chamber, was when this was being mentioned. To me, I mean, what it means is that anybody now can be an ICE agent. I’m sure there’s a bunch of people right now calling for my deportation, they’re wondering I’m illegally flaunting my illegality. I’m supremely disappointed in my journalist colleagues, who talked about the softening of President Trump, when the hardening of his with regard to the immigrant community."
