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.

Another Towering Intellectual Idiot.
You should see her supporters
This is the type of chick who after two beers starts crying that no one likes her. She gets half way through a third beer and then throws up all over her shoes.
Q: What else can you get at Orange Julius besides
an Orange Julius?
It’s NY. Any further questions?
Is it French, pronounced Tay-SHOW?
I’m not just this stupid...
Only an idiot would think she could do it OH WAIT it’s the left.
“Q: What else can you get at Orange Julius besides
an Orange Julius?”
Or in this instance a Red Capo Julius!
What are her chances of winning?
With her message, sadly her chances are good. This is New York after all. New York republicans usually throw up the worst candidates, and then we’re stuck electing governors like that thug, Cuomo, the commie Mayor Di Blasio and Attorneys general like macho man Schneiderman.
I’m guessing some 200 year-old case law might be an impediment to her plans.
Still shocked by this.
Thanks Enlightened1.
