New York Democratic attorney general candidate Zephyr Teachout said she wants to prosecute U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency officials if elected.
Teachout, a professor at Fordham University, called for the abolishment of the agency in a video released Wednesday, saying she believes ICE “is a tool of cruelty, unconstitutional behavior, illegality.” Teachout is one of many Democratic candidates who have backed the “Abolish ICE” movement.
“As attorney general, I will continue to speak out against ICE. I will prosecute ICE for their criminal acts,” Teachout said. “We have stories of consistent abuse within ICE.” (RELATED: Democrats Have ‘Abolish ICE’ Bill In Hand)
Acting ICE Director Ronald Vitiello responded to Teachout’s comments in an interview on “Fox & Friends” Thursday. “ICE was designed in the aftermath of 9/11 to protect us all. That’s what the agents and the officers of ICE, and our attorneys and our mission support people, they’re out there every day protecting this country,” he said.
After Vitiello’s interview Teachout responded in a tweet. “I’m that ‘NY AG candidate’ and I will absolutely prosecute anyone who breaks the law under my jurisdiction. Including ICE agents. We have reports of rape, and people have died in ICE detention because they didn’t get adequate medical care,” she wrote.
Teachout faces three other candidates in the Sept. 13 primary election.

What a nut job!
What a KOOK!
Another barking moonbat.
5.56mm
So what next? Police forces, traffic lights?
What is the chance of this delusional and/or corrupt person winning?
Isn’t Zephyr the train that runs from Chicago to San Francisco?
I promise to waste your money via a massive frivolous lawsuit. Vote for me!
What’s her real name?
There are literally millions of these Left Wing hippie women in NYS. Saying they are kooks is an understatement. I just try to avoid them at all costs. These are the types that want to go bike riding in ISIS territory because if feels so natural.
Unfortunately, it is Nueva Jork, so she might win.
Ms. Teachout needs to get a real job, like swabbing out toilets, to put her precious little sheltered snowflake life into perspective. There are just too many of these posers professing to know something to be sustained.
I’m all in for abolishing ALL government subsidization of education, starting with “higher” education. Like, yesterday....
I think if she’s elected and tries to do that she should be brought up on Federal Obstruction of Justice charges and of course, treason with all the due penalties on conviction.
A better question would be what weere her parents smoking?
and pregnant as she runs to become the AG.
So, her last name isn’t Beeblebrox?
I heard today on Fox that she is currently in third place in polling data.
She has NO chance of winning. She lost recently in her run for Congress. Next year she'll run for something else...
We have stories of consistent abuse within ICE.
Garbage.
Out of three?
