We need to change the way we do immigration enforcement. Our current system is inhumane; it is separating children from their parents, deporting and detaining too many people, and ripping families apart. None of this is making us any safer.
Speaker Ryan is trying to demagogue the issue. The Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act isn’t about stopping immigration enforcement or open borders. It is about shining a light on the injustices of our system, changing the way that we conduct enforcement.
Across my district & throughout our country, ICE is ripping families apart. They are raiding workplaces, invading homes, showing up at courthouses, schools, and hospitals, detaining individuals indefinitely & instilling fear throughout our communities. We must put a stop to this.
Trump has weaponized this agency to accomplish his racist agenda. To bring an end to these rampant human rights violations, we must terminate ICE & convene a commission of experts to make recommendations to Congress on the redistribution of ICE’s essential enforcement functions.
ICE has strayed far from its original purpose and has failed to enforce immigration laws and protect national security in a humane and just way. I am proud to join several of my colleagues in cosponsoring this necessary legislation.
I will continue to fight to protect the dignity of all individuals and #KeepFamiliesTogether https://facebook.com/notes/rep-adam-smith/adam-smith-becomes-an-original-cosponsor-on-legislation-to-reform-immigration-en/2235817356444763/ …
