Fiery Remarks at Los Angeles Hearing
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) strongly criticized former President Donald Trump during a Los Angeles hearing, calling him a "lowdown, no good, filthy" man. Her remarks came amid discussions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that had targeted immigrant communities.
Defense of Immigrant Families
Waters accused Trump of using ICE as a political weapon to intimidate vulnerable families, saying his administration’s actions were driven by cruelty rather than law enforcement strategy. She urged officials and the public to resist policies that harm immigrant communities and undermine human rights.
Call for Political Accountability
Waters emphasized that Americans must remain vigilant and hold leaders accountable for policies that violate basic decency and justice. She stated that the country “cannot normalize hatred and oppression,” reiterating her commitment to protecting the rights of all people living in the United States.
“We cannot stand by while families are torn apart. This administration must answer for its cruelty,” Waters said during the hearing.
Broader Political Context
The speech reflected Waters’ continued opposition to Trump’s immigration agenda and her broader stance on social justice and equality. Her comments drew both criticism and praise, amplifying the long-running political tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and executive authority.
Author summary: Maxine Waters condemned Donald Trump for using ICE raids to target immigrant families, framing his actions as cruel and politically motivated.
