As the Congressional Hispanic Caucus goes through leadership changes in search of rethinking how it communicates with Latino voters during the upcoming Trump administration, one thing is certain: its members are not planning on changing their stance regarding potential mass deportation policies. That was the overarching message from Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán on Monday when she claimed that deportations will only "have a negative impact on the U.S. economy" promising to push back against Trump's plans.
The comments, however, were later criticized by Thomas Homan, Trump's freshly-minted 'border czar' who has been making the rounds since his appointment and providing glimpses into what deportations will actually look like, from suggestions of "self-deportations" to the possibility of workplace raids.
