 Congressman Van Drew Slams Democrats

Today, Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement regarding House Democrats’ forum on the conditions at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey.

“What we saw today was not a serious effort to tell the truth,” said Congressman Van Drew. “It was another attempt to push a political narrative, demonize ICE, and mislead the public. I have seen Delaney Hall with my own eyes, and the people making these claims know better. They know the facility is clean, well-run, and provides medical care, recreation, and other basic services. But those facts do not fit their narrative. All their rhetoric does is create chaos, fuel hostility toward law enforcement, and make an already difficult job even more dangerous for the men and women enforcing our immigration laws. The American people deserve leaders who support law enforcement and put American citizens first.”
