Democrats Mostly Quiet on Immigration

“When President Donald Trump imposed a travel ban from several Muslim-majority countries in 2017, Democratic advocates and lawmakers raced to airports across the country to protest. They held news conferences and visited detention centers the following year when Trump began separating migrant children from their parents,” the Washington Post reports.

“Trump has unleashed even more draconian immigration policies in his second term that have amounted to the harshest crackdown on immigrants since World War II.”

“But Democrats have not mounted the same unified and visible pushback, even as Trump has halted immigration applications from 19 countries, deployed federal agents into minority communities and called Somali immigrants ‘garbage.'”
