Arizona\u2019s Family (Phoenix, AZ)<\/strong><\/a>: \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Senator Gallego:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWhen you\u2019re using a weapon, you have to understand the full gravity of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reporter:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cNew cell phone video [of the Minnesota ICE shooting] was released this afternoon, that video was taken by the ICE agent himself. Gallego questioned why a trained immigration agent would shoot a video with his phone and hold a weapon at the same time. He said he hopes President Trump will rethink how these operations are carried out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senator Gallego:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI wish the president would understand there is ways to have security, have immigration enforcement, have border security, without these type of methods they\u2019re doing, which is scaring and bringing chaos to our neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox 10 (Phoenix, AZ)<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Reporter:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cSenator Ruben Gallego held a media event today at his office in Phoenix. He calls the ICE crackdowns racial profiling and talked about what Democrats might do in response.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senator Gallego:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re going to look at the appropriations process \u2014 or any other process \u2014 to figure out how to pen these guys in to make sure they\u2019re not abusing American citizens, that they\u2019re focusing on criminals and not going after these people that just are here working and other than that have no criminal record. But it is a tough situation when this administration is more focused on causing harm than actually bringing security.\u201d<\/p>\n
