Today’s ruling is a fundamental & resounding victory for Congressional oversight, our Constitutional system of checks & balances, & the rule of law.

For far too long, the President has placed his personal interests over the interests of the American people.

The use of bait & switch tactics to arrest immigrants attending marriage interviews as part of their lawful immigration process is wrong & cruelly separates families.

This is a grave and solemn moment for our country. #POTUS, from the WH lawn, is openly calling on foreign powers to smear his political rival.

I urge my GOP colleagues to join us and save our democracy.

History will commend us, and future generations will be the beneficiaries.
