Obama-era ICE director blasts Trump admin for 'police-state' tactics in citizenship requests

Former Obama-era ICE Director Sarah Saldaña condemned President Donald Trump's ICE enforcement efforts as comparable to a 'police state', citing Trump's request for people to prove their legal citizenship.

Former Obama-era ICE Director Sarah Saldaña has condemned President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies, likening them to a 'police state' due to their requirement that people prove legal citizenship. This approach aims to achieve a key campaign promise of former President Trump, but critics argue it could lead to racial profiling and undermine trust in law enforcement. Saldaña's comments are part of a broader criticism of the Trump administration's handling of immigration policies. Her comparison highlights concerns about the erosion of civil liberties under these policies.
