Sanders and Clinton Effectively Tied in Iowa; Clinton Condemns ICE Raids

HeadlineJan 12, 2016

The Democratic presidential candidates spoke in the key caucus state of Iowa Monday at the Black and Brown Forum hosted by Fusion network. Just weeks before the caucus, polls show the race between Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is essentially tied. The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Clinton leading Sanders by just 3 percentage points among likely Iowa voters. Sanders is ahead of Clinton in the key primary state of New Hampshire. At Monday’s forum, Clinton broke with the Obama administration to condemn the recent raids targeting Central American families who have fled violence.

Hillary Clinton: “I have come out against the raids. I do not think the raids are an appropriate tool to enforce the immigration laws. In fact, I think they are divisive. They are sowing discord and fear. And I also have come out in favor of guaranteeing that unaccompanied children have government-sponsored counsel, so that as they go through the process, they will not be lost in the process, confused by the process, and will have a chance to tell their story.”
