WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Katie Pavlich Tonight on NewsNation to discuss his continued support for ICE and teacher absences causing schools to close over their ICE protests.
"You have a responsibility to educate the young minds of America's future, [and] not take off a day so you can go join a protest. If you want to do that, do it after work. Do it on the weekend":
"Listen, if a teacher wants to protest, you have a First Amendment Right to do that, but you have a responsibility to educate the young minds of America's future, [and] not take off a day so you can go join a protest. If you want to do that, do it after work. Do it on the weekend. Every other American does that."
"The Democrats want ICE to operate like it did under Joe Biden, meaning ICE did nothing":
"The Democrats want ICE to operate like it did under Joe Biden, meaning ICE did nothing... So look, I think it's time to be very firm about what ICE is going to do. Are there some strategic moves that Tom Homan obviously wants to employ in Minneapolis and things like that? Okay, let's examine that. But nothing can deter the mission of deporting criminal illegal aliens out of the United States because these same Democrats didn't lift a finger, they didn't say a thing when Rachel Morin was killed, when Jocelyn Nungaray was killed, or when any of these young unaccompanied minors were coming across the Southern border, being trafficked by the drug cartels, being raped on that journey and some of them being sold into sex slavery. I'm not interested in negotiating with the Democrats when it comes to this. We need to be firm. We need to hold position. ICE needs to be able to do its job."
