WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congressman Hank Johnson, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, released this statement on the appointment of Robert Mueller to investigate Russian meddling:
Over the past couple of weeks, ten Somali nationals have been detained by ICE throughout Metro Atlanta and are now facing deportation. Some were picked up at their jobs, in their homes, and in some cases, it is alleged that ICE used false pretenses to detain them.
Johnson, on the other hand, said in a statement that the firing of Comey constituted an "assault on our republic" by Trump, who Democrats have accused of benefiting from alleged Russian interference in the election.

On May 10, Congressman Hank Johnson hosted and moderated an event with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and members of immigrant communities from DeKalb and Gwinnett County at Georgia Piedmont Technical College's Conference Center.
Congressman Johnson shares his views on the recent firing of former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, during a May 10 interview with 11 Alive News.
By terminating FBI Director James Comey, President Donald Trump has continued his assault on our Republic.
As recently as last week, Comey confirmed that the FBI has active ongoing counter terrorism and criminal investigations into the Trump campaign's connections to the Russian government's attempts to influence the outcome of this country's most recent presidential election.
