Today my intern Lucas will be spending the day with me and tweeting photos of his day. Every Leahy intern gets a one-on-one day where they get to spend a day seeing what actually goes into representing Vermont. This is the capstone of my paid internship program.
[Lucas] This is Lucas taking over Senator Leahy’s Twitter for the day. I’m a recent @uvmvermont graduate from Shelburne. I’m excited for a day of hearings, meetings, and much more.
[Lucas] Earlier we were at a hearing with Customs and Border Protection Commissioner @CBP_McAleenan. I was interested to hear his perspective on border issues.
[Lucas] Leahy asked him about border checkpoints inside of VT. CBP has authority to set up checkpoints within 100 miles of the border, but those searches may violate citizens’ rights against warrantless searches. Leahy introduced a bill this year to limit those checkpoints.
[Lucas] Senator Leahy and other Democratic leaders just spoke with press in the Capitol about President Trump’s disastrous threat to shut down the government. I was right in the scrum with reporters from all the major papers and networks.
[Lucas] We're on the Senate subway with @PeterWelch (I’m the one on the right). We’re headed to an event with @SenatorSanders. Looking forward to meeting lots of fellow Vermonters.
