## Key points

- Jeffries pledged assistance for people he says were unfairly affected by immigration policies.
- His comments included DACA recipients and potential return to the US.
- Critics said Democrats should focus more on affordability and US citizens.

## Summary

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said people he believes were treated unfairly under Donald Trump’s immigration policies should receive “remedial assistance”. His remarks, made in a PBS interview, included DACA recipients and came as he seeks to become Speaker of the House next year, putting immigration policy alongside Democrats’ affordability agenda.

Asked whether DACA recipients should be brought back to the United States, Jeffries said assistance should extend to citizens, people lawfully in the country and DACA recipients affected by the administration’s actions. He also cited a bipartisan housing bill and pledged to address costs including healthcare, groceries and energy. A White House spokeswoman and a Democratic strategist criticised his comments, arguing they prioritised immigrants over affordability and the interests of US citizens.
