LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON HISTORIC LAWSUIT RULING

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued the following statement:

Throughout this year, Donald Trump has repeatedly obstructed Members of Congress from carrying out oversight of abuses in our immigration system. Today's decision preserves the ability of Congress to assert our constitutional responsibility to serve as a check-and-balance on an out-of-control administration that has continued to illegally weaponize immigration enforcement. This is a critical victory for the rule of law made possible because of a groundbreaking lawsuit brought forward by Democratic Members of the House of Representatives.

House Democrats will never be silenced or intimidated.
