Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) became the first senator to call for the Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to be abolished during an interview on CNN with Chris Cuomo Thursday night.

“I believe that it has become a deportation force,” Gillibrand stated. “And I think you should separate out the criminal justice from the immigration issues.”

“I think you should reimagine ICE under a new agency with a very different mission, and take those two missions out,” she continued. “So, we believe that we should protect families that need our help, and that is not what ICE is doing today.”

I believe we need to protect families who need help, and ICE isn’t doing that. It has become a deportation force. We need to separate immigration issues from criminal justice. We need to abolish ICE, start over and build something that actually works. https://t.co/JtSN68k4Fd

Gillibrand’s comments on ICE were prompted by Cuomo bringing up fellow New York politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez defeated longtime incumbent Joe Crowley and will represent the Democrats in the 14th district of New York in November’s election. She campaigned on abolishing ICE and is a self-identified Democrat socialist. (RELATED: OCASIO-CORTEZ: ABOLISHING ICE IS ‘COMMON SENSE’)

Gillibrand added, “I agree with [Ocasio-Cortez]. I don’t think ICE today is working as intended.”

The alternative is to simply deploy the military to do the job

Another U S senator who is openly anti-American.

Any Representative of the people calling for the abolition of any part of our government is committing TREASON, punishable by impeachment and imprisonment at a minimum.

“... separate out the criminal justice from the immigration issues”
Umm, Kirsten, that’s exactly what ICE does!
Illegal invasion, is a criminal justice issue.

The Insanity is strong in this one....
Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure, debilitating mental disease that proceeds to rot out the brain to the point that the ability to determine reality from fantasy becomes indistinguishable. As the onslaught continues it causes outright insanity and eventually violence: They think: good is bad, black is white, male is female, hot is cold, up is down, etc. etc. They belong in a padded cell somewhere, definitely not in Congress.

So what other laws can we just ignore? Or is that another privilege which doesn’t extend to citizens? Can we just tell the IRS to take a hike then?

Females, especially female officials, perpetuate the total emasculation of our country, to the point where the enforcement of laws becomes nearly impossible.

Sure okay, but you’ll have to get in line behind:

The Department of Education, Agricultural Research Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Economic Research Service, Farm Service Agency, National Agricultural Library, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Rural Development, Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), Institute of Education Sciences (IES), National Library of Education (NLE), Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae),Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

...for starters.

You might be on to something. Watch for the incumbent Dems to fall all over themselves in a mad dash to the left.
