GOP Lawmaker Says Trump Admin Has 'Overreached' on Deportations
Representative Don Bacon told Newsweek the Trump administration has gone "after people who make zero sense to deport."
Nebraska Republican Representative Don Bacon has criticized the Trump administration for deporting individuals who he believes do not warrant removal, citing the case of Mariana, an Omaha woman scheduled to be deported on September 18. Mariana, who has no criminal record and strong ties to the community, was ordered removed after missing an immigration hearing while still a minor.
Bacon argues that such deportations lack common sense and humanity, and he has called on Congress to improve immigration laws. The White House, however, dismissed Bacon's criticism, stating that they are enforcing the laws passed by Congress and not choosing which laws to enforce.
