STATEMENT: Rep. Min Voted ‘No’ On DETERRENT Act

Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Dave Min (CA-47) voted “no” on the DETERRENT Act. The following statement can be attributed to Representative Min:

“The DETERRENT Act is another outrageous attack on our research universities– and one that will demonize Asian Americans and drive anti-Asian hate. This legislation opens up a Pandora’s box for higher education institutions, placing burdensome regulations on them and invading the privacy of those who want to support colleges and universities. This bill paves the way for unfair and illegal targeting of donors based on their country of origin and will add more fuel to the racism and xenophobia that have terrorized so many Asian Americans and others over the past decade. For all these reasons, I strongly oppose this bill and was proud to vote no on it.”
