Ayanna Pressley: “ICE says Fidel was picked up as a collateral during an ICE…”

“Daphne, your dad Fidel loves you more than anything. Your father has no criminal record. He has done nothing wrong. I know it is hard to understand why your father suddenly disappeared. ICE says Fidel was picked up as a collateral during an ICE operation in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Fathers are not collateral. They are someone's whole world. Daphne, your dad missed you every day that you were apart. You're together again, but you never should have been separated.” (01:43–01:50)
