Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed President Trump has ordered immigration enforcement officials to deport illegal immigrants without warrants.
The New York representative joined fellow freshman Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib at a Monday press conference. The self-identified "squad" called the presser to respond to Trump’s Sunday tweets telling them to "go back" where they came from.
Ocasio-Cortez said she is "not surprised" by the tweets, given the president's record and past rhetoric.
"I am not surprised when the president says that four sitting members of Congress should 'go back' to their own country when he has authorized raids without warrants on thousands of families across this country," Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to recent plans by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport illegal immigrants living in the U.S. that have been served court orders to leave.
