Immigration reform? Now Elizabeth Warren has a plan for that, too.
The Massachusetts senator, whose 2020 presidential campaign has become defined by her stockpile of policy proposals, unveiled Thursday a package of ideas to restructure the government’s approach to immigration “to create a rules-based system that is fair, humane, and that reflects our values,” she wrote in a blog post.
Warren says she will “reshape … from top to bottom” both U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pledging to “change the culture” at the agencies and begin “focusing their efforts on homeland security efforts like screening cargo, identifying counterfeit goods, and preventing smuggling and trafficking.”
Warren calls for various restrictions on government-enforced detention and says she would do away with private detention facilities. She vows to eliminate expedited removal proceedings, grant due process rights to people in the country illegally, and work toward “passing legislation establishing Article I judicial review for immigration cases modeled on our federal courts.”
