Rep. Jasmine Crockett Calls U.S. Deportations Unconstitutional

U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, sharply criticized federal immigration enforcement in recently circulated remarks, describing deportations as “randomly kidnapping folk” and contending that the practice violates migrants’ civil and constitutional rights. Crockett argued that the United States should consider “how it would feel if countries sent people to our country,” framing current deportation efforts as unjust and arbitrary. Her comments drew immediate pushback from conservative commentators online, who defended existing removal procedures as lawful.
