LEADER JEFFRIES: "WE NEED TO GET ICE UNDER CONTROL AND DELIVER A COUNTRY THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR VALUES"
Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference, where he emphasized that Democrats are committed to lowering the high cost of living, to making healthcare more accessible and to ensuring taxpayer dollars are used to make life more affordable, not to brutalize and kill the American people.
LEADER JEFFRIES: The Trump administration has failed the American people. Republicans have failed the American people. Extreme MAGA Republicans, led by Donald Trump, have failed on the economy, they have failed on healthcare and they have failed on immigration enforcement. ICE is completely and totally out of control. We know they need to be reined in now without further delay. Taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people, not brutalize or kill them, which is what took place in Minneapolis, and it's what is taking place all across America whenever these masked and untrained ICE agents show up on the scene.
House Democrats continue to be committed to making life more affordable for Americans, to driving down the high cost of living. We're committed to fixing our broken healthcare system. And of course, we need to get ICE under control and deliver a country that is consistent with our values, with who we are. That's not what we're seeing right now under Donald Trump and Republicans who've gone way too far, and the American people know it, which is why Republicans continue to lose elections all across America.
