More than 20 DREAMers are expected to attend tonight's State of the Union address. If Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) gets his way, they'll all be arrested.
Gosar announced on Twitter that he has asked U.S. Capitol Police and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to "consider checking identification of all attending the State of the Union address and arresting any illegal aliens in attendance." Several congressional Democrats have invited DREAMers — undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States by their parents as young children — as their guests for tonight's address.
