"Ali started off by venting ICE was building concentration camps to house illegal immigrants and killed eight people this year alone, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. (Pretti was shot by two Border Patrol officers, not an ICE agent.) He also said polling showed Most Americans are turning against President Donald Trump's ICE raids, which are terrorizing Black and Brown communities."
"I don't understand anything that you just said! I spoke English, Ali shot back. I don't understand anything you just said to me when I've made clear that taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people, not brutalize or kill them, Jeffries continued. That's the whole reason we're in this fight right now, that's the whole reason that DHS is getting ready to shut down. So Abolish ICE. You agree with me and Joy Abolish ICE, Ali said."
Hakeem Jeffries resisted calls to abolish ICE during a heated exchange with Wajahat Ali. Ali accused ICE of building concentration camps to house undocumented immigrants and blamed the agency for eight deaths this year, naming Renee Good and Alex Pretti, while citing polls showing growing opposition to President Donald Trump's ICE raids. The report clarifies that Pretti was shot by two Border Patrol officers, not an ICE agent. Jeffries argued that taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people rather than to brutalize or kill them. Jeffries framed funding priorities as the basis for opposing abolition, and the exchange ended with both sides insisting on their preferred language.
