Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her congressional primary in New York in part by vowing to “#AbolishICE.” On her campaign website, she spells out her bold position on “immigration justice”: “It’s time to abolish ICE, clear the path to citizenship, and protect the rights of families to remain together.”
But when confronted with the important role Immigration and Customs Enforcement plays, particularly with regard to the recent deportation of a former Nazi, the rising star of the Democratic Party suggested that when she says #AbolishICE, she doesn’t exactly mean “abolish ICE” in the way that many of her more radical supporters might think.
