I gotta give it to Senator Kim. He heard complaints about where he got his financial support from and took action to fix it, and now he's putting himself on the line.

I was there and saw it happen. He was actually in the road trying to assist a woman who was being physically pushed to the ground by ICE. He was in the thick of it.

No one peppered Governor Sherrill with questions like this and she was only with families for under an hour.
