Another member of the infamous “Squad” in the House of Representatives is in hot water over some rather disgusting comments made in a recent social media post about Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) referred to the agency as a “terrorist force,” in remarks made on Wednesday.
While participating in an interview with Brianna Keilar on “CNN News Central,” Jayapal discussed her comments in an Instagram post with the anchor. The post said, “ICE is acting like a terrorist force. People across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men. No oversight, no accountability. Completely lawless.”
Keilar then asked Jayapal to offer up a response to a statement released by White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.
Jackson’s statement said, “Jayapal’s disgusting comments warrant an immediate apology. Heroic ICE officers are simply doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law, with the utmost professionalism.”
“Dangerous smears by deranged leftists like Jayapal radicalize their supporters to violently attack and obstruct federal law enforcement. Because of comments like Jayapal’s, assaults against ICE agents have increased by 500% this year. And that number will go even higher if Jayapal doesn’t stop with her smears,” Jackson continued.
According to Fox News, Jayapal responded by saying, “What is deranged and cruel and outrageous is that, literally, we are seeing ICE agents, I assume they‘re ICE agents. They say they are. They don‘t have any identification. They‘re wearing masks. They‘re in plain clothes. They are coming and kidnapping and disappearing people on the streets of the United States.”
“I never in a million years thought that that is something that I would see here in America,” the liberal Democrat said. “And so I think it is the administration that has to apologize to U.S. citizens that have been rounded up to legal, permanent residents, to people with legal statuses across the country who are getting swept up, people who have been here for 20 years and committed no crimes, getting swept up by masked men who are kidnapping them and deporting them.”
She then referred to ICE actually doing their job to enforce immigration law as “outrageous,” “unconstitutional,” and “illegal.” Yes, you read that correctly. Enforcing the law is now illegal, according to the brilliant mind of Rep. Jayapal. This, boys and girls, is one of the people Democrats tell us is the bright future of their party.
If that’s true, the left may never win a major election ever again.
“It is absolutely terrorizing people, including small businesses, farmers,” Jayapal remarked during the interview. “The round table I had in Spokane was with people from the Growers League, farmers who are terrified, restaurant owners who can‘t have, you know, who are seeing their sales go down because nobody wants to come out and eat. Literally. People are so afraid, Brianna. It‘s never something I thought I would see in the United States of America. The White House owes an apology to the American people for what they are doing.”
Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, made an appearance on “The Will Cain Show” where he called out a new app called ICEBlock that is currently being used to track ICE agents and help warn illegal aliens about their whereabouts.
“Assault against ICE is up over 500%,” Homan explained on the program. “Now you’ve got an app that’s going to tell where ICE operations are going to. It’s only a matter of time before ICE agents are ambushed by some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing them out a cocktail, throwing bricks at these officers. This is just disgusting at every level.”
