Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said the way the Trump administration is enforcing immigration policy is “repugnant and inhumane.” Host Margaret Brennan asked, “I want to ask you about what’s happening in the state of Connecticut. Nationwide, ICE arrests have increased significantly in June and in July. This past week, the governor of Connecticut said, despite President Trump saying to governors he would not send in ICE to cities that did not ask for help, they detained dozens of people in Danbury, Connecticut, in Bridgeport, and Stamford. ICE did not inform those cities in advance. You’re seeing footage of some of those arrests. What have you learned? Has this operation concluded? How many people were arrested? And was it timed to back to school, as your colleague, Senator Chris Murphy, alleges? Blumenthal said, “We’ve learned nothing from ICE, but we know that probably about 100 were detained and arrested. Very few of them, only a fraction, maybe six or seven, have any kind of criminal history. So the administration saying that it’s detaining the worst of the worst or deporting people with serious criminal history is absolutely belied by the facts. That’s not what’s happening.
