Statement from Governor Phil Scott

Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement:

"Enough…it's not acceptable for American citizens to be killed by federal agents for exercising their God-given and constitutional rights to protest their government.

"At best, these federal immigration operations are a complete failure of coordination of acceptable public safety and law enforcement practices, training, and leadership.

"At worst, it's a deliberate federal intimidation and incitement of American citizens that's resulting in the murder of Americans. Again, enough is enough.

"The President should pause these operations, de-escalate the situation, and reset the federal government's focus on truly criminal illegal immigrants. In the absence of Presidential action, Congress and the Courts must step up to restore constitutionality."
