Antjuan Seawright: TPS Holders’ Political Influence Comes Through ‘The People Who Cast Their Votes’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SEAWRIGHT: “Well, they do, and that pushback has always come by way of the people who cast their votes and hold their elected officials accountable. I would just say that ice needs to chill because like most of President Trump’s immigration agenda, they are in hot water amongst the American people. It’s no secret that these arrests have upticked since the Supreme Court made two consequential rulings, one, the one that you’ve been talking about with the with our guest on the other side. But two, the fact that the Supreme Court affirmed a fundamental belief in this country that if you’re born in America, you are American, striking a blow to the MAGA agenda. Who wants to rearrange who we are as Americans? Thirdly, I don’t think people understand when it comes to ice, the by way of the big ugly bill, they were given $170 billion for empowerment. And then just a few weeks ago, through budget reconciliation and additional slush fund of $70 billion. So they are feeling very empowered. And it’s not just who they are. It’s not just how many people they arrested, it’s who they’re arresting and where they’re going to get them in sacred places churches, hospitals, schools, etc."
