‘Not the America I love’: Espaillat assails Trump immigration ‘crisis of values’ while calling for ‘unity’ approach

As the Trump administration relaunches large-scale ICE raids and immigration crackdowns, U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) delivered an impassioned speech Sunday morning, Feb. 2, at the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of New York’s annual breakfast, calling for justice and compassion for immigrant communities.

During his remarks, Espaillat said the Trump regime’s efforts were not rooted in “the America I love, and it is not the America that gave” him the opportunity to be a member of Congress.
