New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday took a swipe at President Trump's immigration policies as he granted clemency to 29 people, including some immigrants who were facing deportation.
According to reports, Cuomo (D) issued pardons to 22 immigrants who, because mainly of drug-related convictions, could have been deported or blocked from citizenship.
This is absolutely insane and an insult to the victims and families of the victims.He also commuted the sentences of seven other individuals, including four for murder and three for armed robbery.
In a statement, Cuomo's office said Trump and the federal government are "waging a war on our border against immigrant communities."
The governor also took a shot at the president for the ongoing partial government shutdown over border security funding.
