On Friday’s “NewsNation Now” broadcast, John Sandweg, who served as acting ICE director during the Obama administration, said President Joe Biden has “recently made changes” to the border, including with the adoption and approval of the Senate bill. “We are causing this,” he said. I think they’ve pivoted from some immigrant advocacy groups and progressives. ”
Sandweg said President Joe Biden called the Laken Riley suspects “illegal” during his State of the Union address, saying, “This…reflects a larger change in the White House, and a calculated gamble. I think there is,” he said. I think recent policy changes, such as the adoption and approval of the Senate bill, have led to a change of direction from some immigrant advocacy groups and progressives. And I think they rely on the idea that they have nowhere else to go. Are you going to support Donald Trump who talks about immigrants being poison to the American blood and all kinds of other family separations and building mass detention camps at the border? So let’s take a look and see how it plays out. But again, this just reflects a sense in the White House that as long as these numbers are on the edge, they need to take a more aggressive stance, even if it upsets them a little. think. left. “
Sandweg previously said:[C]I say to the president, he has adopted what is traditionally considered a very conservative immigration enforcement hawk bill, right? ”
