Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) criticized President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement strategy during a recent appearance on CNN, calling it “domestic terrorism” and accusing federal agents of targeting minority communities.
Kamlager-Dove made the comments on CNN’s “The Arena” while discussing the Trump administration’s renewed push to deport individuals in the country illegally.
“I would argue that this is not immigration policy that we’re seeing unfold. This is domestic terrorism,” she said during her interview with host Kasie Hunt.
When asked to elaborate, the California Democrat pointed to examples she claimed were reflective of current immigration enforcement activity.
She described situations involving “grandmothers taking young children to church or to the grocery store or to a little Korean market” who were allegedly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“They are snatching people, putting them in a van, carting them off, detaining them, not informing their parents or family members,” Kamlager-Dove said.
