Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wiped away a tear Thursday during a press conference held by a liberal group to protest the continuing flow of taxpayer dollars to Immigration and Custons Enforcement.
The 29-year-old New York lawmayer, who self-identifies as a democratic socialist, said at a MoveOn.org event that shutting down ICE is ‘one of the more urgent moral issues and crises that we have in America right now.’
And she claimed that despite President Donald Trump‘s words to the contrary in Tuesday’s State of the Union address, he ‘does not like any form of immigration.’
She cited the case of seven-year-old Jakelin Caal Maquin, who died in December after her father brought her and 160 other illegal immigrants across the southern U.S. border into New Mexico.
