“They sent me back to Queens, and I’m happy to be here,” Rep. @AOC (D-N.Y.) tells crowd at town hall in New York City on immigration and #2020Census.

“Welcome home!” an attendee yells out over cheers.

2. “The census was a huge win that we had,” @RepAOC says at a town hall in Queens, NY, calling Trump administration’s failed push for a #CitizenshipQuestion an effort to “intimidate documented and undocumented immigrants alike.”

3. “The hard part is actually getting counted properly,” says @DesisRisingUp’s Roksana Mun of the #2020Census challenge ahead for immigrant groups and communities of color after the Trump administration’s failed push for a #CitizenshipQuestion.

4. @AOC’s town hall in Corona, Queens is being simultaneously interpreted from English to:

1. American Sign Language
2. Bangla
3. Mandarin
4. Nepali
5. Spanish
6. Tibetan

5. Rep. @AOC says now the #CitizenshipQuestion fight is over, she’s focusing on how the #2020Census is being administered. She says paper forms are not getting printed “at the rate [the census] should be printed” & she’s concerned not every household is getting a paper form.

6. In response to President Trump’s tweets, Rep. @AOC says, “Men like him have been telling women like me to go back to their country for a long time.” On rhetoric’s impact, she says she’s less concerned about herself than she is abt “millions of Americans” being put “in danger.”
