ICYMI: Warren Ridicules Trump Executive Orders On Wall, Immigration

WASHINGTON, DC — As mayors around Massachusetts rebel, state Sen. Elizabeth Warren laid into President Donald Trump's newly signed immigration policies with her typical tongue-lashing.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Warren demanded, "Why not just declare January 25 as the Trump Administration's First Anti-Immigrant Day?"

Executive orders signed by the president Tuesday put limitations on immigration and sanction sanctuary cities, of which Massachusetts has several. It additionally orders the construction of a wall along the Mexican border, a key tenet of Trump's presidential campaign.

According to Warren:

"None of President Trump's actions today will make us safer. They will tear apart the fabric that makes us strong and united as a country. His actions today will hurt working parents and children who have risked their lives to flee war, violence, and poverty. They will waste taxpayer dollars on irresponsible and misguided pet political projects. They will divert local police department resources away from protecting our communities and building trust in the neighborhoods our officers serve.

"President Trump's actions today show an ugly indifference to the immigrants who have contributed to our communities and a profound misunderstanding of the real dangers our nation faces."
