Congressman Gonzalez Issues Response to President Trump’s Executive Order on Family Separation

June 20, 2018

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15) issued the following statement in response to the executive order, signed by President Donald J. Trump, that fails to end the administration's ‘zero-tolerance' policy:

"Clarity. The American people and immigrant families, in danger of separation, need more than a haphazard promise – they need clarity," Congressman Gonzalez said. "The President's executive order is disguised as an end to the plight of so many immigrant families, but it is an empty promise. Congress is ready to solve the immigration crisis on all fronts. I expect the leader of the free world to be on the same page."
