Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to “end the carceral approach to immigration” on Monday, sharing a letter signed by several prominent radical left Democrats demanding an end of what they described as a “discriminatory criminal legal system.”
In a letter addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and ICE Director Tae Johnson, the far-left Democrats highlighted concerns related to a February 18, 2021 interim enforcement memorandum issued by ICE, contending it does “not provide adequate protection for the liberty interests of recently arrived immigrations seeking humanitarian relief and further criminalizes and dehumanizes immigration by relying on the discriminatory criminal legal system”:
Any new guidelines, the Democrats said, should “not adopt flawed presumptions of what constitutes a threat to public safety.”
