Senate Democrats compared ICE to the Ku Klux Klan Thursday, saying the agency’s deportation officers have earned an evil perception among “many” people, and it’s up to the acting chief to change that.

“Do you see any parallels?” Sen. Kamala Harris asked of Ronald D. Vitiello, the acting director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, during a confirmation hearing for his nomination to become permanent director.

Mr Vitiello flatly rejected the comparison, saying there was no parallel, and demanded to know whether the senator was really trying to draw an equivalency.

Ms. Harris, California Democrat, denied that, but said that “perception” exists and the chief must grapple with it.

“I’m very specific about what I’m asking,” she said. “Are you aware that there’s a perception that ICE is administering its power in a way that is causing fear and intimidation particularly among immigrants and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America?”

So, Kamala is saying that ICE is composed completely of Democrats?

I'm sure there are KKK members in the rat party, but another isolationist mexican hating party has courted and successfully recruited most of them.

Kamaltoe was too long out of the press coverage she so dearly loves so she pulls this stupid stunt. She's a moron but vicious. I am looking forward to her eviscerating her primary opponents. She could damage a few of her fellow-travelers.

There is no way you can make believe that the Black Panthers have recruited the KKK.
