So this assault on public safety is a profound concern across this
country. I am disturbed that our nominee authored a bill to penalize cities
and States that are seeking to reduce public violence and enhance
public safety. That seems the opposite of what an Attorney General
should do. During his nomination hearing, Senator Sessions advocated for ending
the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, or DACA. This is a
program on which one needs to understand it by meeting individuals who
are childhood arrivals. There are folks who have crossed the border
into our country who have brought with them a baby in their arms, or a
toddler, or a 4-year-old.
