Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Imagine being locked up in prison for 43 years for a crime you didn’t commit.
You’re finally exonerated at age 64 and Trump’s ICE immediately snatches you up to deport you to a country you haven’t lived in since you were 9 months old.

Wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years & then snatched up by ICE.
I dive into the case of Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam, who was convicted for a murder he didn’t commit and now faces deportation to India, a country he hasn’t lived in since he was 9 months old.
