When people come forward and they say, 'I've been scared to cross the street in this area, or we have had street racing constantly all night long,' seeing them have a chance now to do something about it has been satisfying.

It’s how this administration has acted since day one: punishing states, businesses, and ordinary Americans who push back on Trump.

The images we've seen of masked, anonymous people grabbing residents off the street in broad daylight don't make our communities safer.

They make Americans and hardworking members of our community who've lived here for decades afraid to go to work, to school, to the doctor, to the park.

This legislation is about restoring accountability to immigration enforcement. In a democracy, law enforcement should protect the public — not terrorize it.

This will only lead to more chaos and pain in our communities.

We should never use a person’s need to go to the doctor against them.
