As a birthright citizen born to Haitian immigrants and a prostate cancer survivor, fighting back against the Trump administration is very personal to me. As a defender of the law, this work is dire, and I'm proud to be on the frontlines with my colleagues:.

Child exploitation is a horrific crime that is made even more reprehensible when the alleged offender is a trusted member of the community. My office’s ICAC Task Force will continue to partner with law enforcement to bring these individuals to justice:
