Booker outlines plan to 'virtually eliminate immigrant detention' through executive order
Cory Booker unveils plan to 'virtually eliminate immigrant detention'
Sen. Cory Booker, trying to jolt his 2020 presidential campaign, is unveiling a comprehensive plan to "virtually eliminate immigrant detention" and expand protections for illegal immigrants through executive order -- bypassing Congress entirely -- "on day one of his presidency." The aggressive proposal comes as polls consistently have shown Booker trailing many fellow Democrats in the White House race, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Although several of his rivals already have announced similar proposals and even endorsed decriminalizing border crossing entirely, Booker's plan was unique in focusing on the immigrant detention facilities that have attracted national attention in recent weeks.
