Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are?

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.
Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

The fight against corruption has to be ceaseless.
Today in the Appropriations Committee, I will offer an amendment to prohibit the Qatari jet that was gifted to Trump (which is going to cost taxpayers $1 billion) from being transferred to him personally.
Stay tuned.
