A closed-door meeting of House Democrats today grew tense as several Hispanic Caucus lawmakers railed against a divisive border deal that comes with limited new restrictions on President Trump's immigration policies
A closed-door meeting of House Democrats on Tuesday grew tense as several Hispanic Caucus lawmakers railed against a divisive border deal that comes with limited new restrictions on President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Shortly after the meeting, the Congressional Progressive Caucus declared formal opposition to the package. "It's going to be a heart wrenching vote for me," Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell said in an interview. "But I have to think of so many other people that would be affected if we don't vote for the bill."
“The Hispanic caucus is not happy,” said Rep. Jan Schakowsky as she left the meeting, adding that she hasn’t decided yet how to vote. “The Hispanic caucus was really strong and concerned about not just transferring of money, but deportations and detention beds.”
