Spanberger rips Trump over affordability, immigration in Democratic response to SOTU

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) ripped President Trump over issues around affordability and immigration as she delivered the Democratic response to the president's State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

Spanberger, a former CIA officer and House lawmaker elected governor of Old Dominion in November, criticized the president for the administration's use of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying he sent "poorly trained federal agents into our cities, where they have arrested and detained American citizens and people who aspire to be Americans — and they have done it without a warrant."

"They have ripped nursing mothers away from their babies, they have sent children — a little boy in a blue bunny hat — children — to far-off detention centers, and they have killed American citizens on our streets," she added, referring to the ICE's prior detainment of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos. "And they have done it all with their faces masked from accountability."
