A Statement from Congressman Jason Crow about Buckley Space Force Base Being Used for Mass Deportation Efforts:

“I am deeply concerned about reports that Buckley Space Force Base in my district will be used for mass deportation efforts.

"Pulling our military into politicized and contentious domestic immigration enforcement dishonors the service of our troops and distracts them from the important work of defending our nation.

“Perhaps most disturbingly, it could force our service members to assist in the detention and deportation of peaceful members of the community.

“Let me be clear: if someone, regardless of immigration status, is committing violent crimes, they have no place in our communities.

“However, the President’s mass deportations are threatening to go after our neighbors, family members, business owners, and friends in order to create a narrative that most immigrants are violent criminals. This is simply not true.

“My community and our military can expect my vigorous oversight and, if warranted, my opposition as a member of Congress.”
