Jayapal says she's prepared to 'fight' next administration as Trump makes cabinet picks

In a recent news conference, U. S. Representative Pramila Jayapal expressed her commitment to resisting the anticipated immigration policies of the Trump administration, particularly concerning family separations and mass detentions. As chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, she voiced concerns over Trump's cabinet appointments, notably Tom Homan, a former ICE leader associated with controversial enforcement strategies. Jayapal emphasized the need for progressive lawmakers to mobilize against potentially harmful policies affecting families.

Her statements reflect a broader urgency among Democrats to prepare for legislative battles as Trump continues to solidify his team and outline his priorities.
