Published | Video Starts at 00:58

The chief federal district judge in Minnesota, a Republican appointee, found over 200 instances of ICE violating court orders in just the last two months. Secretary Noem also denied the DHS has detained U.S. citizens, and we know better. Americans around the country, including in my home state of Illinois, know this is false. One of my constituents, US Citizen Diane Figueroa, was detained for hours after federal agents rammed her car and forced her to the ground during Operation Midway Blitz. (00:58–01:06)
