WASHINGTON, DC— On Friday, U.S. Representative John Garamendi (D-CA-08), a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and Ranking Member of the Readiness Subcommittee, released the following statement regarding his letter sent to Acting Secretary of Defense Robert Salesses after public reporting of the use of military aircraft to deport undocumented immigrants:
As Californian communities are facing devastating wildfires, the Trump Administration is once again spreading misinformation to fuel his own political agenda. I am outraged to hear of Trump’s Executive Order to slash environmental protections for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
President Trump's immigration-related executive orders signal an alarming departure from the values that have long defined our country. His orders to end birthright citizenship, pause refugee admissions, link local law enforcement to immigration authorities, and mobilize military presence at the border through a national emergency proclamation are reckless, unconstitutional, and a blatant abuse of presidential power.
It’s shameful, immoral and dangerous that President Donald Trump, on his first day in office, pardoned the violent rioters who committed the most serious attack on democracy since the Civil War.
