Sen. Duckworth doesn't join Democrats' calls to abolish ICE

Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth expressed concern about the way the executive branch is handling the immigration crisis, but stopped short of joining her liberal colleagues in the Senate calling to abolish US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"I think there's a lot of other things we can do before we get to that point," Duckworth told CNN's "State of the Union" anchor Jake Tapper. "First of which, which is, you've got somebody in the White House who has these policies which are horrendous, which he still hasn't fixed. Families are still separated. Children are still in cages. Nursing babies are still separated from their moms."

Maybe stop crossing borders illegally ? Is that a bad idea ?

And this kids is why I will never vote democrat or democrat socialist for that matter anymore.These people are nuts.

Taking infants, toddlers and preschoolers and tender age children into court to represent them selves as to why they need to be in this country is reprehensible.

This is difficult. Deciding whether to ‘like’ or ‘not like’ this video.

This debate is funny at this point. I've heard every argument from both sides. That's why i still support our president.

Stop separating family's by turning the whole family around and send them all back home, keep ICE and president Trump 2020

[filibertobarrera]

Their is thousands coming in legally from Mexico, If your willing to put ur kid's life in harm's way, then you must accept, that crossing illegally will not be tolerated in this country.

SOCIAL DEMOCRAT. That's what the base is. Or another words FDR

If you abolish it you don’t have to replace it. It was started in 2003. America has had immigrants for hundreds of years.

[sallyday]

Wow she’s in a wheelchair?! Omy a fighter for real!

[stephss]

Yes! Citizens need to be heard. Call your local public servant. Demonstrate and protest in your city. Have your voices heard. These people are living off your tax paying money what you want. Don't have your rights taken away again. Move forward!!

The former ICE director said a day or two ago, Trump needs to be abolished not ICE.👏👏👏👏👏

[wendyalexander]

ICE needs to be reformed. The director stepped down because of their policies. ICE uses Gestapo tactics going after immigrants who served their time and ate law abiding. I thoughts someone commits a crime while teenager, it's forgotten.
They are separating children from families but the rumors of them sex trafficking children is outrageous.

Imagine if ICE existed when the English immigrants were invading this land... 🤔🤣

[brookspalmer]

Why is the former agency doing unlawful & illegal inland alleged so called border checkpoints when the alleged so called borders are being flooded w/ illegal immigrants? There is so much oath violating & breaking going on is there even any oath keepers left. If oath violators & breakers aren't being removed it is a failure of duty to act & broken oaths.
