Adam Schiff: “ICE agents going to middle schools, going to hospitals…”

“I met with the children of farm workers who had their dads deported away from them, people who were stopped at traffic stops or at gas stations, people who had no criminal record whatsoever. We then witness ICE agents going to middle schools, going to hospitals. We're increasingly seeing ICE agents show up at immigration court proceedings and then grabbing people who are showing up for the proceedings as they're supposed to do. So they've gotten far away from the idea of focusing on violent offenders. Their practices deviate dramatically from past practices, and it's basically grab anyone they can, including grab US Citizens who look to be of Mexican origin.” (01:19–01:34)
