Jeffries promises ‘remedial assistance’ to anyone impacted by Trump immigration enforcement

What happened: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would provide "remedial assistance" to people he said were treated unfairly by Trump administration immigration enforcement, in a PBS interview on Tuesday. Why it matters: A White House spokeswoman criticized the stance, and Democratic strategist Julian Epstein said it shows the party falling back into an "open border trap" instead of offering affordability plans. Key numbers: Epstein cited 80% of voters opposing the Biden immigration record, with nearly that many opposing amnesty.
