After Their Midterm Win and Stephen Miller’s Promotion, Democrats Gear up for a Fight on Immigration
Democrats plan hearings on alleged abuses and corruption as they seek to pair oversight with a new immigration agenda after winning back Congress.
- After Democrats' overwhelming midterm victories this week, winning candidates spoke of the need to "rein in President Donald Trump's mass deportation machine" once sworn in.
- Trump promoted Stephen Miller, architect of the hard-line immigration agenda, to chief of staff on Friday, signaling enforcement will intensify despite voter concerns.
- Rep. Robert Garcia, a Los Angeles-area Democrat taking over the House Oversight Committee, warned the administration to "lawyer up," citing investigations into alleged abuses at DHS and ICE as priorities.
- Nationally, about 6 in 10 voters said Trump's actions on immigration enforcement had "gone too far," according to a survey of more than 100,000 midterm voters, per The AP Voter Poll.
- With Trump in office for another two years wielding veto power, and Republicans having frontloaded funding for Border Patrol for three years, Democrats' legislative power remains severely constrained.
