INTERVIEW: Rep. Greg Casar: White House apology not enough after Austin teen's mistaken deportation

Published | Video Starts at 05:16

The Trump administration's mass deportation policies are so reckless that they are deporting people that they say they're deporting by mistake, like Annie. And they're deporting people that have committed no crime. Most of the people they're deporting have committed no crime whatsoever. And so this entire mass deportation scheme is lawless. It's wrong. And honestly, it is the opposite of what Donald Trump went and campaigned out there saying he was going to do. (05:16–05:21)
