ICE, National Guard and other federal law enforcement have no place near DC schools!

Today, I am holding a public hearing on the heightened federal law enforcement and National Guard presence in DC.

We will also discuss the “Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Amendment Act,” the “Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Amendment Act,” and the “Safe Community Places and Policing Amendment Act.”

The presence of ICE, Ntl Guard & other feds in our city is tearing apart families, scaring students and harming schools. The current local administration's timid response has made things far worse. We've lost too many Latino families in the past year. We need a change of course! @Janeese4DC @CMBrookePinto @chenderson @CMZParker5 @aparnafordc @repoyedc @tweetelissa @CMFrumin

A new report on truancy in D.C. says that some Latino students are truant because the increased presence of ICE, other federal agents, and National Guard had "negative impact on their families." One kid said he was "genuinely afraid to step outside" after his dad was deported.
