Sen. Elizabeth Warren said that she would consider placing a moratorium on deportations as a bargaining maneuver to pressure Congress into action on immigration reform
She was asked about the possibility during a forum in North Carolina hosted by Mijente, a grassroots Latino group, as part of their"El Chisme 2020" conversation series."I am open to suspending deportations, particularly as a way to push Congress for comprehensive immigration reform," Warren told the audience, before criticizing the expanded role of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency under President Donald Trump.
"I stand with Barack Obama all eight years," Biden said,"good, bad and indifferent."In her own immigration plan, Warren pledged to slow deportations and ensure due process for individuals faced with removal. But she stopped short of discussing, as she did on Friday, a moratorium on all deportations. "I'll eliminate the use of expedited removal proceedings and guarantee hearings," Warren wrote in July.
