WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) met with Senate Democratic Leader Charles E. Schumer to discuss ways to keep families together and protect immigrants from President Trump's draconian immigration policies.
"We are pursuing every opportunity to protect immigrants and families from President Trump's misguided immigration policies," said Chairwoman Michelle Lujan Grisham. "Caucus members oppose the President's efforts to pay for a mass deportation force and border wall, both of which have resulted in mass hysteria and real harm in our communities. We count on Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Schumer, as important allies in our fight for a fair and effective immigration system that reflects our values as a nation."

"Congressman Steve King's history of racist and xenophobic remarks is unacceptable and does not have a place in the halls of the United States Congress. That is why we call on Speaker Ryan to condemn Mr. King's statements by immediately removing him as Chairman of the Constitution and Civil Justice Judiciary Subcommittee. This will send a strong message that America's strength is built on its diversity and that members of Congress will stand united against bigotry in any form."
