Foley also appealed to the citizens of the United States to use their voice to stand up to Trump’s controversial actions. Foley stated “I just refuse to believe that these people who treat me with such kindness would turn a blind eye to the cruelty that this administration is inflicting on others. America is better than zip-tying senior citizens. America is better than chasing down agricultural workers or abducting day laborers at Home Depot. America is better than using children for bait. Agents made a child knock on the door asking to let them in in order to see if anyone else was home.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
