An (immigration) hearing is supposed to be confrontational, between two sides, adversarial, and a child without representation against an attorney is not a fair process. They do have a right to a hearing; we all understand that, but there needs to be fairness and the fact we\u2019re discussing this is hard to fathom\u2026\n\n\u201cThis is coming from Donald Trump. This is what he wants. He wants to deport as many people as possible. That\u2019s the message he gave to the Department of Homeland Security. Stephen Miller gave them head counts and they have to meet their head counts\u2026and they do it sometimes illegally. Sometimes they kill people. They make mistakes and they don\u2019t understand what they\u2019re doing. The President of the United States needs to resign. He\u2019s doing so many unimaginable things to this country, and to justice and to due process\u2026We don\u2019t have it here anymore\u2026\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s all about him\u2026a narcissistic grifter. That\u2019s who\u2019s guarding this country\u2026He doesn\u2019t want anyone to have counsel except himself\u2026Roy Cohn told him \u2018never admit you\u2019re wrong. Never back down\u2026\u2019 \u201d\n\nSee the entire five-minute speech here.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-07-22T07:34:13Z", "2026-07-22T07:35:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-denounces-heartless-trump-miller-immigration-policies"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8228570222854614, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
