Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) criticized CBP agents' actions in interior cities, arguing they reflect long-standing practices against immigrants. She highlighted the need to move beyond basic reforms and focus on the systemic issues within the Department of Homeland Security.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Delia Ramirez argued that “What you’re seeing CBP agents do in interior cities like Chicago, like Minnesota, they have been doing to immigrants for a very long time,” and “This is exactly why we have to stop talking about basic reforms or Kristi Noem talking about body cameras that they’re not going to release footage for.
” Ramirez said, “Alicia, this is not a training problem. The guy that executed — the agent that executed Alex had years under ICE, with training. The reality is that the agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, was created to have qualified immunity in the name of protecting us from domestic terrorism. We created this agency. Before 2003, we didn’t have ICE. They didn’t operate the way they do. What you’re seeing CBP agents do in interior cities like Chicago, like Minnesota, they have been doing to immigrants for a very long time, except there were no phones or whistles to be able to protect them. This is exactly why we have to stop talking about basic reforms or Kristi Noem talking about body cameras that they’re not going to release footage for.”Exclusive: Amazon MGM Expanding 'Melania' into 200 More Theaters CCP SURROGACY GAMBIT: How China Exploits U.S. Birthright Citizenship Laws to Expand Beijing’s Influence in AmericaReport: Mitch McConnell Checked into Hospital for ‘Flu-like’ Symptoms Kidnappers of Savannah Guthrie Mom Nancy Allegedly Want Millions in Bitcoin Ransom as FBI Joins SearchExclusive — Comedian Jamie Kennedy: The Youth of This Country Are Humorless, And It’s Not Their Fault
