We confronted @SenateMajLdr and @SecElaineChao with @ProPublica audio of children separated from their families at the border while leaving a @Georgetown event. We must #AbolishICE & #AbolishCBP! #FreedomforImmigrants
I am Roberto, a rising Senior at Georgetown University.

After coming back from my internship at United We Dream, my friend texted me that both Senator Mitch McConnell and Trump cabinet member Elaine L. Chao were present on campus.
My parents are Mexican immigrants, and I was infuriated that a man who blocked the Dream Act and a Trump cabinet official were invited to my campus. As a result, my friends quickly mobilized and went to the event that was held inside Copley Formal.
We asked why they were separating families and Elaine L. Chao started yelling at us to leave her husband alone. My question is why they won’t leave our families, friends and communities alone? As my friend said, “how do you sleep at night?” #FreedomForImmigrants
And to be honest, I cannot fathom how these movers of racism, discrimination and hate sleep at night. Cabinet officials like Elaine Chao might not like to hear it but she and her husband bear responsibility and we won’t stop telling that truth everywhere they go. #AbolishICE
It is time for Congress to defund the deportation force. #AbolishICE #AbolishCBP #FreedomForImmigrants
