Rep. Steve King (R-IA) issued a press release today that partially blames Muslims for the Department of Justice’s attempts to challenge Arizona’s controversial new immigration law.
“The ACLU, SEIU and the Muslim American Society are calling the shots at the Justice Department,” the press release says, later blaming “the ACLU and their radical affiliates” for “dictating the policy of the White House.”
Here’s the full text:
“President Obama has ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to use the Department of Justice in an attempt to invalidate Arizona’s illegal-immigration enforcement law,” said King.
“The ACLU, SEIU and the Muslim American Society are calling the shots at the Justice Department. The ‘draft complaint’ DOJ has prepared to challenge the Arizona law is a ‘cut & paste’ version of the class-action lawsuit the ACLU filed in United States District Court on May 17th.
No other conclusion could be reached unless Holder releases the Department’s ‘draft complaint.’ But when it becomes public, all of America will know what I know today. The ACLU and their radical affiliates are dictating the policy of the White House and the Department of Justice.”
