Democrats have made it very clear that they are squarely on the side of illegal aliens, to the point where they want to abolish ICE and Border Patrol, which is a de facto abolition of our border and immigration laws. They refused to stand for Americans and the State of the Union, and during a recent hearing with Angel Families, including Jessica Gorman — the mother of Sheridan Gorman, who was killed by an illegal in Chicago — Rashida Tlaib made it clear Democrats do not care.
Now Ro Khanna is claiming that ICE enforcing the duly enacted immigration laws of this country is a human rights violation.
ICE arrested more than 10,000 people last week.

We cannot ignore their continued abuse and violation of human rights. It’s time to abolish ICE and replace it. pic.twitter.com/xFFKQy8IEe
"ICE has increased detentions from 1,000 a day to 2,000 a day," Khanna said. "Just last week, there were over 10,000 detentions. Now, I know ICE hasn't been as much in the news lately, after the Alex Pretti killing and the Renee Good killing, and the siege in Minneapolis and Los Angeles."
"Many people were outraged at ICE," he continued, "but we cannot ignore their continued abuse. These people being detained are being denied basic human rights. I was at the California City Detention Center. I saw someone with blood in his urine who was denied medical care. I saw rocks in the food. I saw people shivering because they didn't have clothes. We need to abolish ICE and replace it. We need to stop funding ICE that's violating human rights."
Living in our country is not a human right

Remember: America is a racist, colonialist, capitalistic nightmare that socialists must change. But it's also a place where migrants have a right to live.
I’m sorry are you saying those 10,000 people were legal US citizens?

No, he's saying Democrats want to protect illegal aliens.
You should let some of the illegals stay in your four story mansion.

Who will do the groundskeeping at Khanna's kids' golf courses if we deport all the illegals?
Incredible work, fellas!

Let’s go for 20,000 this week. https://t.co/jdyod0BE0v
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin reminded Khanna that ICE enforces the laws Congress has passed.
A reminder to defund the police Democrats like @RoKhanna:@DHSgov doesn’t make the laws, we enforce the laws Congress passed.

While anti-law enforcement liberals attack our officers, @ICEgov is continuing to do the work mandated to us by Congress. https://t.co/UcFBdz8FGx
Democrats don't have the political will to change immigration laws, so instead they want to defund ICE as a backdoor repeal of our immigration laws.
Why is it that practitally every other country in the world is allowed to uphold their immigration laws but the U.S. can't? @RoKhanna is a traitor and a danger to the citizens of the U.S. He needs to go. https://t.co/6eoATm1sXK

Because America is the greatest nation in the world and the goal of repealing our immigration laws is to destroy this country. The Democratic Socialists, who now run the Democratic Party, have said their goal is to dismantle America and Western Civilization.
Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
