Rep. Jayapal defends comment calling ICE 'a terrorist force,' says White House 'owes an apology' to Americans
Fox News ^ | 7/02/25 | Rachel del Guidice

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., defended a recent social media post calling ICE a "terrorist force" Wednesday.

During an interview with Brianna Keilar on "CNN News Central," the host spoke to Jayapal about her Tuesday Instagram post where she wrote that "ICE is acting like a terrorist force. People across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men. No oversight, no accountability. Completely lawless."

Keilar asked Jayapal to respond to a statement from White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.

In the statement, Jackson said, "Jayapal’s disgusting comments warrant an immediate apology. Heroic ICE officers are simply doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law, with the utmost professionalism."

"Dangerous smears by deranged leftists like Jayapal radicalize their supporters to violently attack and obstruct federal law enforcement. Because of comments like Jayapal’s, assaults against ICE agents have increased by 500% this year. And that number will go even higher if Jayapal doesn’t stop with her smears," Jackson added.

Jayapal responded, "What is deranged and cruel and outrageous is that, literally, we are seeing ICE agents, I assume they‘re ICE agents. They say they are. They don‘t have any identification. They‘re wearing masks. They‘re in plain clothes. They are coming and kidnapping and disappearing people on the streets of the United States."

"I never in a million years thought that that is something that I would see here in America," she added. "And so I think it is the administration that has to apologize to U.S. citizens that have been rounded up to legal, permanent residents, to people with legal statuses across the country who are getting swept up, people who have been here for 20 years and committed no crimes...

Found this gem from April -

House Democrat’s ‘resistance lab’ educates voters on ‘taking down a dictatorship’

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., has started a "resistance lab" program to educate Americans about what happens when dictators take over. She said that though America has yet to experience a dictatorship, it appears as though “that’s the direction that we’re headed.”

Does she not realize the simple fact her retarded “lab” exists and is being reported on by the media means no such dictatorship exists? In an actual dictatorship she and everyone like her wouldve been rounded up and thrown in jail…. Or worse.

I think Indians are a hostile invading force attempting to colonize America and Hindus are demon worshippers. So I can see why she would be against ICE and their attempt to remove non-Americans

Born in Madras (which is suddenly now called “Chennai”) back in 1965. Strip her of her citizenship and deport her too.

"I never in a million years thought that that is something that I would see here in America," she added.

What Pramila Paypal should be concerned about is the fact that her political allies deliberately opened the US borders to millions of criminals that have no business being in this country.

Foreign congress people like Indian Paypal show how deeply our system has been infiltrated and undermined. Paypal has no loyalty to America. Paypal is proof positive that mass deportions have to be speeded up.

This low I.Q. bimbo needs to be deported too. We don’t need foreign instigators here. She needs to go back to the sewer she came from.

I don’t know how somebody from India has the right to trash our American civil servants working hard to defend America from foreign invaders from outhouses like India. Pramila the Gorilla needs to be sent home.

The real terrorist force are the Washington State 7th Congressional District voters who elected Demonicrat Pramila Jayapal to Congress.

Her problem is not her ethnicity it is the fact she is a Leftist. It is hardly better when white Leftists say this same exact stuff.

In a Congressional hearing the other day, Jayapal demanded Karo Lake denounce Hungary as a “dictatorship”.
