At the Georgia U.S. Senate debate against Mike Collins, Jon Ossoff says his office has spent a year and a half investigating ICE detention and documented more than 1,000 credible reports of human rights abuses. He describes an infant who went into intensive care after the mother was deported while still breastfeeding. Ossoff says the administration promised to target "the worst of the worst" but didn't, and says Mike Collins and Donald Trump bear responsibility.

But listen, folks, again, what did they tell us? They told us they were going to go after the worst of the worst. They told us they were going to target hardened criminals. And immigration enforcement should focus on those who pose a threat to public safety. But that's not what they've done. My office has been investigating abuses and ICE detention for the last year and a half. We've documented more than 1 ,000 credible reports of human rights abuses in ICE detention facilities. There was an infant who had to go into intensive care because that child's mother was deported while that child was still breastfeeding. These are human rights abuses that Mike Collins and Donald Trump bear responsibility for. Remember, they unleashed federal agents in American cities wearing masks who killed American citizens. And Mike Collins and Donald Trump should answer for that.
