Our cities are not border cities, and our state is not a war zone. What is happening in our state, and many others across the country, is completely unconscionable. Yet, the Trump Administration has chosen to initiate policies designed to instill fear, undermine due process, and disproportionately target Black, Brown, and immigrant residents. These aggressive operations conducted with unmarked vehicles, masked agents, paramilitary tactics, and warrantless detentions constitute a deliberate form of racial profiling and intimidation that has no place in our communities.\n\n\u201cThis is a profound abuse of power, a violation of civil rights, and a stain on our democracy. I call upon federal authorities to cease these operations immediately and demand full investigations into every allegation of racial profiling and abuse. I stand firmly with our immigrant communities and will do everything in my power to hold the Trump Administration accountable for their oppressive and cruel actions.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "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://foushee.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-foushees-statement-on-border-patrol-and-ice-in-north-carolina"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9572389535605907, "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"}
