Dem Lawmaker Warns Immigration Officials Won't Be Safe From 'Future Punishment' Over 'Illegal' Deportations

A Democratic lawmaker on Thursday issued a disturbing warning to federal immigration officials who carry out "Illegal" deportations, saying they "Will not be safe" from future punishment once President Trump is out of office.

"When the worm turns you will not be safe because you were just following orders. You do not have to take part in illegal acts ordered by this President's administration."

You do not have to take part in illegal acts ordered by this President's administration.

The lawmaker's tweet was in response to a Washington Post report about how the government has denied passports to Hispanics who have U.S. citizenship but whose birth certificates are in question for possibly being fraudulent-a practice which took place under the previous two administrations.

A] State Department spokesman blasted the Washington Post report, saying passport denials in these cases have actually declined under this administration.

"The facts don't back up the Washington Post's reporting. This is an irresponsible attempt to create division and stoke fear among American citizens while attempting to inflame tensions over immigration," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told Fox News.

"Under the Trump Administration, domestic passport denials for so called 'midwife cases' are at a 6-year low. The reporting is a political cheap shot."
