Ruben Gallego: “ICE has not been exactly very careful about who they detain…”

“And the fact that there is potentially someone's family being taken away because maybe they are in this country legally or maybe they're going to be harassed. Let's be clear, ICE has not been exactly very careful about who they detain. If you don't have your perfect paperwork, if they still suspect you. We know citizens have been detained for days, sometimes weeks. You know, people that are here on perfectly good visas, perfectly good legal, permanent residency have been detained and now they're going to harass these families on their way in.” (18:15–18:25)
