Jayapal: DHS Officers Have Killed Two American Citizens in Minnesota? Have We Had a Hearing on That?

TRANSCRIPT:

JAYAPAL: "Instead of funding Americans’ health care or housing or childcare, Republicans poured over $210 billion — $210 billion dollars into ICE and CBP. DHS officers killed two U.S. citizens in cold blood In Minnesota. Have we had a hearing on that? No, we haven’t. They beat and detained countless U.S. citizens for exercising First Amendment rights and broke down doors without a warrant, in violation of the Fourth Amendment. ICE has imprisoned 400,000 people just in the interior of this country since Trump came in. Parents, children, military veterans, U.S. citizens, people on valid visas and people who have never committed a single crime. Private prison companies who incarcerate these people get massive profits. They turn around and then contribute to Republicans and Trump’s campaigns while maintaining the most horrific conditions inside the prisons that have led to a record 51 deaths in ICE detention just since President Trump took office."
