Under pressure from left-wing activists, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) is again drawing scrutiny for siding against immigration enforcement and law enforcement priorities, despite her carefully cultivated image as a moderate.

Gluesenkamp Perez previously embraced a far-left anti-police group that helped funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into her reelection effort, according to reporting from the Washington Free Beacon. In Congress, she reinforced that alignment by voting against a $170 billion package aimed at enforcing immigration law and deporting criminal illegal immigrants, as shown in official House records.
