Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls to Abolish ICE in Latest Campaign Pitch

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a potential Democrat presidential primary candidate, is again calling for the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which enforces the nation’s immigration laws.

Ocasio-Cortez won her congressional race in 2018 partly on a platform that promised to dismantle and ultimately abolish ICE, even suggesting that illegal aliens deserve a “right of passage” into the United States.

Ocasio-Cortez eventually dropped the “Abolish ICE” talking point from her stump speech after polls found that even a majority of Democrats did not want the federal agency to be wiped out.

In a new campaign email, just as Ocasio-Cortez sets herself up as the new face of the Democrat Party heading into the 2027 presidential primary, the self-described “democratic socialist” is again resurfacing calls to abolish ICE.

“I believe that ICE, an agency that was just formed in 2003 during the Patriot Act era, is a rogue agency that should not exist,” Ocasio-Cortez writes in a campaign email, first reported by Business Insider.

Abolishing ICE would set free over a million illegal aliens, many of whom are violent felons, from immigration detention while eliminating the federal government’s enforcement arm that locates, arrests, and deports many of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens.

Earlier this month, border czar Tom Homan suggested he was in talks with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over Ocasio-Cortez’s insistence to continuously give illegal aliens advice on how to evade ICE agents.

“What she’s doing, she says she’s educating everybody on their constitutional rights … but what she’s really doing… she’s trying to teach them how to evade law enforcement,” Homan said.

Marco Rubio: Judge’s Order Blocking Deportations to Cause ‘Irreparable Harm to U.S. Foreign Policy’

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a federal judge’s court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens to South Sudan will cause “significant and irreparable harm to United States foreign policy.”

Rubio’s comments came in a late-night filing to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts after Judge Brian Murphy, appointed by former President Joe Biden, ruled this week that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) violated a prior preliminary injunction by deporting eight illegal aliens, all violent convicts, to South Sudan.

The Trump administration had deported the illegal aliens, some of whom have been convicted of murder, rape, and child sex crimes, to South Sudan after their native countries refused to take them back.

Rubio, in his filing to the court, argues that Murphy’s order has already disrupted U.S. diplomacy with South Sudan, Libya, and Djibouti, threatening the president’s Article II authority to conduct foreign policy.

“This Department of Justice believes that this situation urgently requires judicial intervention to restore President Trump’s full Article II authority to conduct foreign policy,” a DOJ official told Breitbart News.

In a separate filing, Trump’s DOJ is asking for Murphy’s order to be stayed pending appeal, arguing that “federal courts have no authority to direct the Executive Branch to conduct foreign relations in a particular way, or engage with a foreign sovereign in a given manner.”

“Because cooperation with other nations is required to transport and distribute international humanitarian aid, it is almost certain the Court’s interjection will result in delayed or reduced humanitarian efforts across the region in a time of severe humanitarian crisis,” the DOJ filing states.

“Furthermore, the Court’s Orders impermissibly disrupt the President’s ability to faithfully execute the nation’s immigration laws,” the filing continues.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth similarly filed a declaration to the court, though it is under seal.

The illegal aliens deported to South Sudan include five convicted murderers, one convicted robber, one convicted child sex predator, and one convicted rapist. Several of the illegal aliens were also convicted of assault, and one was convicted of kidnapping in addition to his murder conviction.

Kristi Noem, Angel Families Call on JB Pritzker to End Illinois Sanctuary Policy

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem joined Angel Families, whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens, to call on Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) to end the state’s sanctuary policies that shield illegal aliens from federal immigration law.

During a press conference in Springfield, Illinois, on Wednesday, Noem accused Pritzker of perpetuating “violence and criminality against his citizens in this state,” through the state’s sanctuary policy that seeks to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from getting custody of criminal illegal aliens sitting in local jails.

“People who support sanctuary policies talk about love and compassion. Well, where is the compassion for families that stand behind me?” Noem said. “… for two years, JB Pritkzer has protected individuals like that [illegal alien criminals] so that he can stand up and say that he is a sanctuary city and a sanctuary state. Shame on him.”

Alongside Noem was the brother of 66-year-old Denny McCann, killed by illegal alien felon Saul Chavez, who hit and dragged McCann nearly 300 feet to his death in a drunk-driving crash in 2011, and the father of 21-year-old Marine Lance Corporal James Ray Walden III, killed by an illegal alien in a crash in 2017.

“Two months after my brother was killed, Cook County encoded the law, passed the sanctuary law … and about 7 or 8 years later, Pritzker signed the sanctuary law,” Brian McCann, Denny’s brother, told the media. “We’re one of the most prolific sanctuary states in the union.”

Jim Walden said he will never get the chance to see his son Jimmie “grow, get married, have kids” because the illegal alien accused of killing him was shielded by sanctuary policies.

“… the state of Maryland admitted they knew he was illegal five years before he killed my son, and during that five-year period, they had him in jail five times,” Jim said. “He was convicted of domestic violence and put on probation.”

“Jimmie would have been 30 years old yesterday,” he continued, noting that the illegal alien recently was charged with illegal reentry for the third time.

“No Angel Family’s death can be considered an accident because if the governor had done his job and deported these criminals, they wouldn’t have been able to kill our families. I just wish that I could see my son grow, get married, and have kids,” Jim said. “But it’s never going to happen.”

Kathy Zander, whose son John was killed by fentanyl poisoning, and Nancy Pletania, whose son Nick similarly died of fentanyl poisoning, also joined Noem at the press conference.
