Hours after calling for mass amnesty for illegal aliens, a House Democrat accused federal agents of “human trafficking.”
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) went on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Thursday and claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are “terrorizing” and “kidnapping” illegal aliens.
“We have ICE federal agents pulling up, terrorizing our communities, hopping out of unmarked vans, stealing, and yes, kidnapping people, not giving them their day in court, and yes, human trafficking them to other nations, other countries around the entire world,” Frost said. “I like to be very clear about what’s going on right now so people understand that what is going on is, I believe, outside the bounds of the law.”
Frost alleged that ICE was taking away the right to due process.
“Due process is something that applies to every person in this country, regardless of your status,” Frost said. “This is from the party that likes to talk about American exceptionalism, but they want to rip away the few things that make our country actually exceptional.”
Earlier on Thursday, Frost held a press conference to introduce a bill that seeks the public disclosure of data from facilities operated by or affiliated with ICE, The Daily Wire reported.
“We are a community filled [with] people,” Frost said. “And yes, people are going to have different statuses, and to my Republican colleagues who say, ‘I don’t want any undocumented people in this country,’ I actually agree with you. So, let’s document every single one of them with a speedy path to citizenship.”
Republicans quickly slammed Frost for his remarks.
“You can’t make this stuff up!” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on social media. “At a Democrat rally today, Rep. Maxwell Frost proposed BLANKET AMNESTY for EVERY SINGLE ONE of the MILLIONS of ILLEGAL aliens Joe Biden let into the country. Republicans will never let this dangerous idea happen. We must defend common sense and the rule of law.”
White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller warned: “If the Democrats were to obtain full political control of Washington they would swiftly complete the project of relocating the destitute and developing nations of the world in your communities and then giving them the full rights and privileges of US citizenship.”
