Last week, Republicans voted to let ICE cancel student visas with no due process.
As the only member of the Judiciary Committee who has actually been on a student visa, I wanted to explain what the process is like — and why that vote was so harmful.

Why should you be concerned about Trump “accidentally” deporting people who have zero criminal record?
Because if he can do it to them — and ignore judges when they tell him to stop — he can do it to anyone he wants.

WOW. Rep. @jayapal.house.gov says CBP's internal affairs department found that a Chinese woman who had overstayed a visa was arrested by Border Patrol and hung herself in a cell. She wasn't found for two hours—even though the records reported multiple welfare checks (suggesting records falsified?).
