Durbin Calls Out Republican Hypocrisy on Central American Refugees, Immigration Enforcement
U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, Ranking Member of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee, today called out Senate Republicans and the Trump Administration for holding a hearing on the danger posed by the El Salvador-based MS-13 gang while at the same time ending a program to provide asylum to children fleeing violence in Central America and failing to provide local law enforcement with adequate funding to address the threat of gangs.
