Republican urges Trump administration to ‘step back’ and rethink immigration agenda
Justice said the administration should admit mistakes and adjust tactics as Republicans and ranchers raise concerns about raids on long-term residents.
- On Tuesday, West Virginia Senator Jim Justice urged the Trump administration to scale back ICE immigration sweeps, marking a rare break from his typical alignment with the president.
- Earlier this year, ICE conducted Operation Country Roads in West Virginia, arresting more than 600 people in two weeks, the vast majority with no criminal record.
- "To get better, the first thing you got to do is admit you're doing something wrong," Justice said, as Sen. Roger Marshall and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar also criticized the administration's enforcement tactics.
- Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that ICE officers were told to stop arresting immigrants with no criminal record; the administration later called the order a "miscommunication" and reversed it.
- Ranching groups report that ICE operations in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma disrupt supply chains and harm cattle producers, while former policy adviser Andrea R. Flores argues sweeps lack effectiveness without legal status reform.
