At a women of color forum, Beto O'Rourke criticizes Obama on deportations by kadiatubman
Beto O’Rourke called out former President Barack Obama’s immigration practices at a forum of women of color activists Wednesday at Texas Southern University in Houston.
“So under an O’Rourke administration will ICE exist? Yes or no?” asked forum host and MSNBC correspondent Joy Reid. During Obama's last year in office, his administration carried out nationwide waves of family deportation raids. Democrats lashed out in response and likened Obama to then-Republican candidate Donald Trump. Bernie Sanders criticized his administration’s implementation of the Priority Enforcement Program, which helped ICE work with state and local law enforcement to identify and deport immigrants.
