Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) rebuffed recent comments by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) supporting his Democratic colleagues, who attended a protest opposing the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal immigrants.

DHS Public Affairs Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin joins ‘America Reports’ to respond to protests led by Democratic lawmakers outside a New Jersey ICE facility.

Worcester City Hall closed to the public early Tuesday ahead of a planned protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Dozens of people protested at the same time as a City Council meeting was held virtually inside.

As public anger in Worcester boils over the controversial arrests of a woman and her teen daughter last week, City Hall will close early on Tuesday and a City Council meeting will be held on Zoom. The decision was made “Due [to] public safety concerns, out of an abundance of caution,” Tom Matthews, Worcester city spokesperson, said in a statement.

The protesters plan to demand that the city council request the City Manager to draft a new policy that would prevent Worcester Police officers from becoming involved in ICE operations.
