Appearing at Ozy Fest in New York City, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said that the “first thing” Democrats should do if they regain the House and Senate after the midterms is “get rid of ICE.”

Speaking to Ana Kasparian, a far-left host of The Young Turks, Gillibrand was asked about how they can made sure that Democrats get things done if they regain control of the House and Senate in the midterms. Kasparian also hilariously whined that Republicans are far less likely to compromise with Democrats — ignoring that her party has made it their policy and platform to block anything that President Trump supports.
“When we flip the House and flip the Senate, I think the first thing we should do is deal with the children who are being separated from their families at the border. I think we should get rid of ICE,” Gillibrand asserted.
The New York senator went on to say that immigration is a civil rights issue, but then referred to it as an “economic engine” and said that it should be viewed as such.
“We should separate out the two missions and do the anti-terrorism mission — the national security mission and then on the other side make sure you’re doing, looking at immigration as a humanitarian issue. These are civil issues. These are families. Look at it as the economic engine that it is,” the senator ranted. “Immigration is our strength. Our diversity is what makes our country and our economy so strong.”
The Democratic Party has been consistently pushing an agenda of abolishing ICE, despite the fact that the majority of Americans have no interest in doing so.

Sure, get rid of the guys getting rid of MS-13. FUtraitors.
Yes, run on that. Oh, please run on that.
Good. Run on that platform.
Man did this broad drink the Kool-Aid.
Good luck with that, idiot.
The GOP needs to hang this around their necks from a national security perspective 24/7
I think the first thing we should do is to get rid of all these globalists that pretend to be Americans. Give em a choice: a cell at GITMO or whatever globalist/socialist country will take their sorry azzes....at their expense.
Disband ICE, dissolve the nation.
Wow, absolutely no leadership at the DNC. The inmates are running the asylum.
It would seem the place to start then....would be to eliminate all the laws that ICE enforces. If there are no laws there, then you have no necessity for anything to enforce.
I would say this....if they can get rid of ICE, then they can also get rid of the IRS as well.
Misspelled ‘constitution’.
Though it seems ironic that democrats, of all people, would want to abolish a federal agency, these are democrats, remember. They may discontinue the term ICE, but will either replace the agency with one even larger and more bloated, or just add to it under a different mandate. In either case, what remains will begin to resemble other federal government agencies, with even more union members.
I’m not pleased with ICE’s pitiful work on illegals but it’s better than nothing. Our little jail handed over 18 illegals to ICE today. Don’t know if they’ll be released or deport but at least we’re doing the job.
Silly Gilly Gillibrand at it again.
Where can I send a donation to clarify the Democrat’s Senate agenda and to spread it far and wide?
NOBODY voting on the TEN Democrats running for re-election in Trump states should get to the polls with ANY doubt about what the issues are.
Did you see the media idiocy the other day saying she has the best chance against Trump in 2020?
“When we flip the House and flip the Senate, I think the first thing we should do is deal with the future voters who are being separated from their chance to support our Revolution at the border. I think we should get rid of ICE,” Gillibrand asserted.
LOL. What a moron.
While they are working on that, MANY more Americans will purchase guns for self-protection, since it will be clear that criminal immigrants are more valued than law-abiding Americans.
They get rid of ICE at their own peril, IMHO.
