DC: Left-wing pundits and activists are increasing pressure on Democratic politicians to embrace the fringe position of abolishing ICE.
Once an idea limited to the far-left fringes, abolishing the nation’s immigration enforcement agency now looks likely to become a campaign issue in the Democrats’ 2020 presidential primary.
Former Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon came out for abolishing the agency in January. “ICE operates as an unaccountable deportation force,” Fallon argued. “Dems running in 2020 should campaign on ending the agency in its current form.”
“Should ICE exist?” MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris on Thursday. Harris’s answer — “certainly” ICE should exist — sparked a backlash among some liberals.
Liberal writer Jack Mirkinson on Friday slammed Harris for her answer in an article titled, “Not Good Enough, Kamala Harris.”
LOL, this and gun control/confiscation… a sure winner..
Why stop there?? lets plant the seed for demorats to call for the abolishing of the US Military as well. “That imperialist, white male controlled force that kills brown and black people around the world for Halliburton and Dyncorp…” I love it.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Abolish the DemoRAT party should be the Repelicans counter argument!
I think I’d start with the ATF, Education, labor relations and the EPA.
I love this! What a fascinating platform for the Dems! ….Lady in Red
Don’t forget masculinity, toxic or otherwise. Dems need to bring their war against men out in the open!
So, we’d replace it with what exactly? The Relocation and Resettlement Service?
Lady in Red, there’s also the DOE(energy) and FBI, which could be replaced with the US Marshal Service. We could downsize a lot, and start living within our means.

Yes, the progs just can’t help but project.
I think we should all encourage the Jackass party to push for these abolitions–ICE, guns of any kind, as well as gender inclusion and the ever popular Medicaid for everyone!
To borrow from LBJ, if they do this, they’ll have the middle class voting GOP for the next 200 years.
I’ll see your ICE and raise you the IRS…
We could do WITHOUT the BATmen, more than ICE. 🙄
In fact, cannibalize the Bureau of smokes & booze, and turn THEM into ICE agents. Let ’em man the border, man the catapults, man the shovels & build the wall – give ’em SOMETHING USEFUL to do!
The democrat party is no longer on a slipper slope but now appears to be in free fall.
Fellas, go right ahead. Make it the second plank in your platform (right after f*ck God). You’ll bring out the remaining reluctant voters to get rid of you all for forever.
Funding.
The new Congress coming up could decide to not allocate funding for ICE.
I don’t believe any of us want to hear Pelosi cackle that elections have consequences.
Yes, and we counter with The Left wants all of you dead by every means possible.
Invite the entire population of Mexico to enter the US illegally, free everything for everybody! Just vote demicretin.
November is gonna be bombastic!
