Democrat Rep. Wilson urges people to call, threaten lawmakers over uptick in illegal immigration detentions

U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., urged people to call and threaten lawmakers after blaming the Trump administration for the uptick in illegal alien detentions after visiting a Miami ICE facility.

"So I've been giving out the phone numbers to the House of Representatives and to the Senate," she said. "It's one number that number you call and you threaten it, and you say, this is wrong. This is not America. This is not what we stand for. We need a change. You have to do that. It's going to take the people. We've done it." Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

"We need the people. We needed an uprising where people are taking to the streets and the phones and writing letters. That's what we need," she added.
