        I’m unsure of how this does anything but create Anarchy. I’m no expert, but wouldn’t this be akin to abolishing a police department because you disagreed with their policies. Change ness to happen for sure, but not like this.

        ICE was founded just 15 years ago by George W. Bush. We functioned without it, we can again.

        Huh???? We didn't function with out it. It was preceded by INS. Gosh, so many people who haven't got a clue participating in this discussion.

        There is no greater compliment to a congressional candidate today than to classify her as not in the "same league" as congress.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w9XMXpumxI …

        People detained by ICE comprise the fastest-growing part of the U.S. prison population. Private detention facilities have increasingly profited from this since 9/11. (Per Equity Justice Initiative http://ejm.org )

        Thank you for that information. And thank you Ayanna for fighting to #AbolishICE, specifically Enforcement and Removal Operations. Alexandria explained why ICE abuses its power with little oversight, and how America can do better:https://twitter.com/ocasio2018/status/1000454762213658624?s=21 …

        About 10 years ago I worked in Ted Kennedy’s foreign affairs/immigration constituent office. I REGULARLY fielded calls from panicked mothers who came home to missing family members. ICE was created in 2003 along w/ the Patriot Act. It was a weapon waiting for a tyrant. /1

        @AyannaPressley got my sympathy when @mikecapuano was crowned the winner by establishment dems. But defunding a law enforcement agency as a means to address laws you don't want enforced betrays a certain disrespect for the intelligence of the electorate. Demagoguery sadly.

        Next I hope you can defund DCF who knowingly targets poor families and even more often African-American families and immigrants. They discriminate and threaten removal of children from loving parents without reasonable cause to do so. They cause trauma to families just the same.
