Yazmin Juárez, whose 19-month-old daughter died weeks after being released from ICE detainment in 2018, testified during the hearing, describing the mistreatment she faced while seeking asylum. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.), who was brought to tears at times during the day’s proceedings, asked Juárez a series of empathetic questions, creating the emotional highlight of the hearing.

1. AOC does not speak like a politician.

She doesn't dissemble or use lots of meaningless words and phrases. Her language is clear and straight forward.

The more I hear her speak the more I like her.
