Bloomberg Audio Studios. Podcasts. Radio. News. A group of House Democrats who've been critical of President Trump's immigration enforcement policies left Washington today to gather in Minnesota for a field hearing titled Kidnapped and Disappeared, Trump's Deadly Assault on Minnesota, featuring testimony from people impacted by ICE raids in the state. Congresswoman Catherine Clark of Massachusetts, the House Democratic whip, led that hearing and joined us from the Minnesota State Building in St. Paul. Listen.
Well, Joe, thank you. Thank you for having me on and bringing attention to this hearing that we held today. And let me tell you, hearing it firsthand from people who have been taken by ICE, U.S. citizens detained for for no reason whatsoever, ripped out of their car. having tear gas put in through the air filter of their car just for honking their horn and blowing a whistle. The stories that we heard, and of course, we have all seen the horrific video of the shooting of Renee Good. they really bring to life what is at stake here in Minneapolis and here across the country if we continue to allow ICE to have this unlawful reign of terror on our communities. And so going to your question about what do we do about it, as we are having one of the funding bills that funds the Department of Homeland Security coming up
potentially next week and the answer is we have been very clear with republicans there needs to be accountability and guard rails in this funding or they are going to have to fund this on their own because we need to see that we are going to have body cameras, that we are going to have the ability to have actual arrest warrants, that there is going to be proper training for these officers, that we are going to have to look about how ICE is deploying these people who do not seem to have the training or the temperament to protect our communities and is being targeted by this administration way.
Well, I know Boston and the Boston area has been part of the areas targeted by ICE, whether it's Everett or Revere. With what you just described, if you can get legislation that puts body cameras on agents and provides training for deconfliction, for de-escalation, will Democrats be on board?
Listen, we're in active negotiations over this weekend, but we need to see real change and a real commitment to it from this administration. And so we have to be assured that the, billions of dollars that they have poured in to ICE. It's seven-fold the size agency that it was. It is now the largest law enforcement agency in the federal government, is actually serving a national security purpose. And what we saw today In this hearing, what we heard from people in Minnesota, whether that was the chief of police, whether it was the mayor of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, we got to speak with the governor earlier, the attorney general, all of them with the same message. If this is happening in Minnesota, it can happen in your hometown as well.
And so we, at this moment, have to stand up for our Constitution, for the rule of law, for fundamental fairness, and the end of terror that we're seeing here in Minneapolis.
Congresswoman, while your group today obviously feels very strongly about this, are you getting any assurances from your colleagues or colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they would be in favor of this and that you can get it done fairly quickly?
