Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Saturday joined calls from the left to get rid of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying it should be replaced with something new.
“The president's deeply immoral actions have made it obvious we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality and that works,” Warren said during a rally in Boston.
“President Trump seems to think that the only way to have immigration rule is to rip parents from their family, is to treat rape victims and refugees like terrorists, and to put children in cages,” she continued. “This is ugly and this is wrong and this is not the way to run our country.”
The Democratic senator had last week visited a processing center in McAllen, Texas, for immigrants entering the U.S. through the southwestern border.
Warren joins a small but growing contingent of Democrats in the Senate who are calling for ICE to be abolished or replaced as the issue quickly becomes a litmus test for Democrats.
On Thursday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) become the first sitting senator to call for ICE to be scrapped, saying the agency should be “reimagined.”
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) have also called for the agency to be examined, but not fully abolished.
Their calls to get rid of and reform the agency come after the harsh backlash to Trump’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy that has led to the separation of families crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Time to replace Warren.
Replace ICE with what?
Fauxohauntas reminds me of one of those Chatty Cathy dolls from the ‘60s. Pull the ring on the back and she something random.
The Democrat Party has to go.
What’s needed is to streamline the deportation process.
No more hearings. No more appeals. Let ICE send the illegals right back over the border within an hour.
What you mean "our," Kemo Sabe?
Another one spews the talking point du jour that’s ready to fizzle out within the next week.
This is their new big thing - more illegals to vote, more anchor babies, they are quite desperate.
Didn’t I.C.E. get created from a reorganization of what used to be called the Border Patrol, and Immigration and Naturalization Service, I.N.S.?? Someone refresh our memories?
And what exactly is their beef?
I still don’t get how the media and liberals pushed the Kids At The Border crisis, considering that the kids behind a fence, etc. all of that was happening during the Obama years too, yet it all got blamed on Trump. It’s as if facts don’t matter to these liberal types who push stories in the media.
Just say it Lieawatha, you think the President of the United States of America is Hitler.
Say it, SAY IT!
Good one, agreed.
Squaw think this path lead to Squaw becoming heap big chief.
Squaw no realize Big Chief Yellow Hair not like White Man that came before.
Big Chief Yellow Hair not let Spanish Squatters round up White Man into Soviet Gulags.
Soros gave his orders and they all fall in line.
Replace ICE with what?

The Fauxahauntus deeply stupid public pronouncements have made it obvious we need to rebuild our qualifications for public office system. I wonder if she can actually breath without pre printed instructions?
Agree when you think they can’t come up with a more stupider idea they do anything to cheer on the lemmings.
Lets replace ICE with carnival clowns blowing up balloons and holding up welcome signs we love you. How about sending them to warrens estate to camp out
These loons on the left have no problem with every other Federal agency and government program but of the very few things that Federal government should be doing, one is protecting borders and defending the nation (national defense). These losers want to get rid of ICE. Lets talk about getting rid of NEA first.
Yep, it’s the common sense thing to do.
Overwhelming or legal system is a tactic of the illegal alien activists and the Dems and it’s working.
