More immigration drama this afternoon . . . Take a look:
Congressman Cleaver and CHC Members Kicked Out of Meeting with ICE
Members were told to leave because the meeting had to be “bipartisan”
This afternoon, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II along with Members from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus were ejected from a scheduled meeting with Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Thomas Homan. The purpose of the meeting was to gather information from ICE regarding the recent reports of raids and arrests of undocumented immigrants across the country.
“It is very unusual for a federal agency to refuse to share information when that is the purpose of their visit to Capitol Hill. In my 14 years in Congress, I have never seen this happen. Even a 25 year Member and leader on the issue of immigration, Congressman Luis Gutierrez, was not allowed to stay. The information obtained from this meeting could have been vitally important to the people of my district,” said Congressman Cleaver.
CHC members called for a meeting with ICE last week in a letter, which can be read here, addressed to Mr. Horman. The purpose of that meeting was to have an open and candid discussion regarding changes ICE has made. ICE officials canceled that meeting, then scheduled a second meeting with a select few Members of Congress. There was no indication that House Democrats or the CHC would be denied access.
“This is not Washington, this is the new Washington,” said Congressman Cleaver. “But that will not prevent me from doing my job and getting answers for the American people.”

Developing . . .
As usual, the story fed to the press by Cleaver and to us by the press gets some things wrong and leaves other things out. ICE had granted a meeting with Congresscritters a their request, but too many signed up, so attendance had to be limited. Cleaver was not kicked out of the meeting, he was just not let in. Congressional Democratic leaders attended the meeting, as did Republican leaders. Cleaver is just not a big enough fish to get a ticket. I doubt that party leaders think any more highly of Cleaver than do his constituents.
ReplyDeleteCleaver hasn't worked for the American people for years. He only steals from the American people.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't need a meeting
ReplyDeleteAll they need to do is send congress a letter stating that we are enforcing the laws that congress passes
Maybe he should move back to Killa City. The mess he helped create.
ReplyDeleteIs he a Black Dude
ReplyDeleteCleaver isn't exactly Mensa material. Since Missouri is a highly educated state- It didn't look good that a democrat that can't seem to shake his "CARWASH" status be allowed to observe anything... They needed real leaders who know how many works.
ReplyDeleteCan we kick out Cleaver too?
ReplyDeleteGod save us all if Sly replaces him.
"...very unusal for a federal agency to withhold information..."
ReplyDeleteRight, Cleaver just like you haven't offered up what you know about the East Patrol project. Nope, looks like government withholding information from its citizens is part and parcel for how politicians get down, yourself included. You can act self-righteous if you want to. Corruption knows no limit.
Fool should be kicked out of congress.
ReplyDeleteBut he does have an excellent taxpayer funded car wash in Grandview. Cheap prices too.

ReplyDeleteAll I care about is that if they did kick Cleaver and Gutierrez out....it's about time!! Especially Gutierrez, he won't be happy until we have open borders
Only tax payers were allowed in.
ReplyDeleteKC Cleaver acting like the boss hog boon again. Fuck him, his pacifier and the tricycle he rode in on.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of Congressman Carwash preaching the importance of civil behavior, while he himself is a disruptor to the civil process.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't the media report the truth that Cleaver has dementia?
The man has great difficulty speaking clearly, thinking, processing information, etc.
Uh huh, Carwash sayin' he been throwed!!!
