Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego on Sunday said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is Trump’s personal “good squad” and should be “totally torn down.”
“I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. It has to be, you know, created in the image of what people want,” Gallego told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union.
It should be remembered that more than 77 million Americans voted for Donald Trump to surge ICE into cities and execute mass deportations. Most people want this.
Gallego then accused ICE of not going after criminals, using warrants to arrest illegal aliens, or being focused on national security.
Instead, it’s a “goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Donald Trump,” he said.
He further likened the agency to a “third-world police force.”
“What we’re seeing right now is not what we want from ICE. And we can create and have a force that’s actually focused on immigration and on security and not this type of intimidation that’s happening right now,” Gallego said.
