Luce Maria Lopez Rosas tearfully tells a Minnesota House committee that immigrants are not illegal because they are people. She recounts how her mother was taken from her by ICE agents. "It breaks my heart to hear that you are attempting to put us as second class citizens like you did with slaves because we have rights. And whether you like it or not we too pay taxes. So we have a say in how these taxes are used." The committee was considering a bill from Rep. Steve Drazkowski that would penalize cities and counties for spending to help immigrants fight deportation.
