In its dehumanizing immigration crackdown, the Trump Administration has wrongfully detained or deported lawful permanent residents and U.S. citizens — but we don’t know how many. I visited the Chesterfield Courthouse today and introduced a bill to require DHS to report these instances to Congress.

The problem is, I'm not confident DHS would report those instances (at all or in a timely manner), even if there was a law requiring it. Is there a provision for individuals to contact Congress to report instances? And staff to publish the contact number, and to vet/compile those reports?

Thank you, Rep. McClellan, for continuing to do your duty of oversight of ICE. What they're doing is unconscionable and needs to be stopped. I wish your Republican coworkers shared your compassion and concern but they are who they are. Please keep fighting for our most vulnerable!

But there’s no effort to go after child predators. Leave innocent people alone!
