Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told a group that he backs a moratorium on all deportations from the U.S., a video surfaced on Saturday revealed.
The socialist senator told a group that, under a Sanders administration, the U.S. would cease ICE raids and deportations.
“We’re gonna end the ICE raids which are terrorizing communities all across this country,” Sanders said.
“We are gonna impose a moratorium on deportations,” he continued. “There are some things that a president can do with executive orders.”
