I'm concerned about more people getting swept up in our criminal justice system that don't need it.

And that's I think why so many of us are concerned particularly about the criminal enforcement on the e bike issues and these other issues where we have a Trump administration that is trying to sweep everyone up into their deportation machine that they can.

Are you concerned that this increased criminal enforcement of e bike riders where we have a high concentration of undocumented people is going to lead to more people getting really wrongly deported?
