"Washington, D.C. - On Wednesday, President Trump referred to undocumented immigrants as 'animals' during a White House meeting with California leaders who oppose sanctuary city policies. 'We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in, we’re stopping a lot of them. And we’re taking people out of the country, you wouldn’t believe how bad these people are.' Trump stated. 'These aren’t people, these are animals.' "
