@RepPressley @CongressmanHice @RepRashida @RepMarkMeadows Ranking member @RepChipRoy characterized the change as a handover from USCIS to ICE, but says “it was not rolled out the way it should have been rolled out. It should have been rolled out a different way…What should have been done was much clearer notice.” #MedicalDeferredAction — PolitiTweet.org

@RepPressley @CongressmanHice .@RepRashida calls statements by @RepMarkMeadows and other GOP members that the #MedicalDeferredAction program is simply being moved from USCIS to ICE “a lie.” "I’ve only been here 8 months, but gaslighting seems to be a thing here." — PolitiTweet.org
