Pelosi Hits Trump with Low Blow Regarding Catch-and-Release Targeting Scheme
Perhaps the democrats have yet to take notice, but President Trump is quite efficient when it comes to settling scores.
Maybe it was his coming of age in the hustle of the New York City realty business, or his time spent formulating plans for future entrepreneurial efforts, but President Trump is an excellent problem solver when the problem is “how do I get them back?”.
Recently it was revealed that Trump pushed a plan on the Department of Homeland Security that would weaponize the “catch and release” program currently in place for undocumented immigrants. The President’s proposal would have had the migrants “released” in so-called “sanctuary cities”, where democrats have been pushing for more lenient immigration laws. One such targeted area was the district from which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hails.
Madame Speaker is not happy about it, and she’s letting the President know.
Friday in Leesburg, VA at the House Democratic Caucus Retreat closing press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reacted to reports that the Trump administration considered a plan to release detained immigrants into “sanctuary cities.”
Pelosi said, “I do not know anything about it, but again, it is another notion that is unworthy of the presidency of the United States and the disrespect for the challenges we face as a country and people to address who we are, a nation of immigrants.”
Pelosi’s insinuation does not mark the first time that Madame Speaker has vociferously lambasted the President, and it likely won’t be the last either.
