"We are going to have to have some form of reparation for the kids and the families that have been traumatized through all of this."
"We need offensive actions around prosecutions. We need real accountability because at the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted."
"I will not support ICE or CBP funding without major reforms, accusing immigration officials of terrorizing communities."
"If I am chair of the immigration subcommittee, we will be pursuing all of these pieces."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal is advocating for reparations for families traumatized by ICE actions amid President Trump's mass deportations. During a congressional hearing, she emphasized the need for accountability and potential prosecutions of immigration officials responsible for the trauma inflicted. Jayapal stated that reparations would be pursued if Democrats gain control of the House and Senate. She has refused to support funding for ICE and Border Patrol without significant reforms, citing the terrorization of communities and referencing deaths caused by immigration officials.
