The lack of accountability and transparency from this <br /> administration is of grave concern to the citizens of this country. Not only are Members of <br /> Congress concerned with the lack of transparency, accountability, and its immigration actions, <br /> but the majority of the American people do not agree with this administration's actions either.I <br /> President Trump initially promised to go after the worst of the worst in his immigration policy. <br /> Similarly, you recently went on Fox and claimed you were going after the worst of the worst.2 <br /> However, the actions of this administration and your DHS show you are not focused on arresting <br /> dangerous criminals like, murders,rapists and drug dealers. Instead, you are sending masked <br /> individuals who do not identify themselves as law enforcement to arrest college and high school <br /> students4,restaurant workers5, factory workers6, and even American children, some of whom <br /> have cancer?which is beyond heartless. The scope of your enforcement activities has grown so <br /> 'Majority of Voters Oppose GOP Budget Bill, With Just 67% Of Republicans In Support, Quinnipiac University <br /> National Poll Finds; Trump Job Approval: 38%, His Handling Of Russia- Ukraine War LowestAmong List Of <br /> Issues,QUI N1NIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL(Jan. 14,2025),hlWs://poll.gu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3924 <br /> 2 Fox News Television Interview, We have been going after the`worst of the worst'in LA:Kristi Noem(Jun. 10, <br /> 2025),https://www.foxnews.com/video/6374069994112 <br /> 3 Russell Contreras and Steph Solis,Ambush arrest of Tufts student sparks new concerns about immigration <br /> crackdown,Axlos(Mar.27,2025), https://www.axios.com/2025/03/27/arrest-tuft-student-rumeysa-orturk <br /> trump-rubio <br /> 4 Ted Hesson and Kristina Cooke,ICE's tactics draw criticism as it triples dailyarrest targets, REUTERS(Jun. 10, <br /> 2025)https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ices-tactics-draw-criticism-it-triples-daily-arrest-targets-2025-06- <br /> 10/ <br /> s Ibid. <br /> 6Ibid. <br /> ICEDeports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation,ACLU OF LOUISIANA, (Apr. <br /> 25,2025),https:llwww.aclu.orglpress-releaseslice-deports-3-u-s-citizen-children-held-incommunicado- <br /> prior-to-the-deportation <br />
