Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona is facing criticism after declaring that illegal immigrants held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody are her “constituents.”
The freshman lawmaker made the remarks during a press conference Thursday and defended her position in comments to the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF).
Ansari, who represents a Phoenix-based district, said she considers all individuals living within her district to be her constituents regardless of immigration status.
