Dems leave, Chicago Flips Red VP testifies at Senate Judiciary Committee hearing

Senate Democrats boycotted an immigration hearing where Chicago activist Danielle Carter-Walters testified about over 56,000 illegal aliens and local obstruction of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

  • On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee convened a Washington hearing on ICE enforcement, and Senate Democrats, including Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, walked out citing lack of government witnesses.
  • Framing the hearing as a response to sanctuary policies, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, blamed the Biden administration for violent illegal immigration and asked why the 'radical left' protects migrants.
  • Chicago Flips Red Vice President Danielle Carter-Walters testified about a Tren de Aragua takeover at 75th and South Shore Drive and said over 56,000 illegal aliens live in Chicago homes.
  • Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Florida, pledged legislation to create buffer zones for federal immigration enforcement officers and to restrict funding for cities that refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
  • Local and partisan fallout includes Danielle Carter-Walters criticizing Democrats' absence, saying they `don't care about the American citizens`, while Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, did not speak at the hearing.
