Harris Says Immigration Raids Will Distort Census

August 11, 2019 at 9:16 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. Kamala Harris decried recent immigration raids as part of the Trump administration’s “campaign of terror” that will distort the upcoming 2020 census, Politico reports.

Said Harris: “This administration has directed DHS to conduct these raids as part of what I believe is this administration’s campaign of terror, which is to make whole, whole populations of people afraid to go to work.”
