Wisconsins Pocan ‘anxious’ the second Trump government | State news

“We are afraid,” said Pocan. “He is more organized and he has done it before. And I think you will see a higher level of things he makes out there. Although I am not sure whether Canada will be our 51st state. “

Pocan said during the first Trump government that the president had only followed about 10% of his promises. He expects the new president to deliver “more 20%this time”.

“If he goes in an inappropriate way some of the people who are here, including (legal immigrants) according to the bills we had before us, I think he will do it,” added Pocan. “Because I think it’s more about rhetoric than the actual practice.”

Pocan spent his day in Madison on Monday and worked with a migrant and Washington, DC, for the inauguration.

Pocan said his focus on these first days of the new Trump government lies on immigrants in Wisconsin.

“We will fight back at every level and we will make sure that Wisconsin’s condition does what you can do. Fortunately, we have a governor I trust, ”added Pocan. “I think our local communities, the city of Madison and Dane County, have to do a lot more because the federal government will not be there to do the right thing.”

Trump has repeatedly said that he would concentrate deportation instructions on illegal immigrants, which he says to present a threat to American cities.

Both the city of Madison and Dane County have explained that they will continue to offer services for the illegal community in the region, although local leaders are not sure what comes from the government of the new president.

A number of local police departments have already announced that they do not ask people about their immigration status, but anyone who is illegal in this country who then commits a serious crime or is a suspected gang member or terrorist.
