Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris yet again misrepresented her record as a prosecutor in response to questions about her tenure as a district attorney, CNN reports.
In Iowa on Sunday on the Political Party Live podcast, Harris was asked by host Misty Rebik about her previous support for a San Francisco citywide policy to report undocumented juvenile immigrants who were arrested to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
There was an active push by the city's Board of Supervisors when Harris and Newsom were in city office to change the policy to prohibit reporting juvenile undocumented immigrants to ICE unless they had been convicted of a felony.
Those efforts were opposed by Harris and Newsom, with Harris saying in one speech she said the Board of Supervisors bill violated federal immigration law.
Harris supported FOSTA and targeted Backpage, twice, but was stopped by a judge both times.
In the process, she supported actions that disproportionately punish the vast majority of users who fall into the "Consenting adult" category Harris claims she doesn't want to target.
Harris is now a strong, vocal supporter of many criminal justice reforms, but she has also strenuously avoided taking responsibility for her previous stances.
