Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) released the following statement on the immigration raid in Bryan County.

“Following this raid, we need answers.

“The Trump administration owes Georgia and the country an explanation as to how this raid, which separated children from working parents, advances the President’s stated immigration priority of removing dangerous and violent criminals from our streets.

“And the companies involved must explain how so many workers were allegedly employed with improper documentation.

“Companies should not be able to get rich in Georgia by exploiting immigrant workers and putting them at risk of politically motivated raids and violations of due process. It’s bad for our economy, bad for Georgia’s workers, and bad for law-abiding Georgia families living in fear of this administration.”
