In Hearing, Rep. Pressley Blasts Trump's ICE Attacks for Traumatizing Children

Published | Video Starts at 02:53

Green Street Elementary. It was just across the street from one of the murders that occurred in broad daylight under Operation Metro Surge. Around the country, the children of Renee Good, Keith Porter, Geraldo Campos and dozens of other children whose parents were killed by ICE agents will carry that trauma the rest of their lives. Trauma in their bodies, their classrooms, their sleep. It shows up in the ways they cling to their parents at school, drop off in the silence of a child who used to speak freely in Nightmares that no children, no child should be visited by. (02:53–03:04)
