You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.

ICE out of Inwood. ICE out of every neighborhood. People are dying in ICE custody. Children separated from parents. Communities are shut out of vital services. We won't give up—and we know our rights: advocate.nyc.gov/blog/resources-to-protect-and-defend-immigrant-communities 📷 Cristobal Vivar
