Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has launched a new fundraising campaign focused on dismantling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a move that reignites her long-standing position amid renewed immigration enforcement under President Trump.
In her latest appeal to supporters, Ocasio-Cortez questioned why progressive values like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal are considered extreme, while calling ICE a “rogue agency” created in the post-9/11 era that she believes should be dismantled entirely.
This effort comes as Trump intensifies his administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, touting aggressive border control and increased deportation measures. Ocasio-Cortez’s opposition to these policies has been a hallmark of her platform since her rise to national prominence in 2018.
Critics from the Republican Party have responded swiftly, labeling her proposals as radical and accusing Democrats of pushing extreme agendas that include open borders and defunding law enforcement.
The debate over ICE’s future is once again in the national spotlight, highlighting the sharp ideological divide between the Biden-era progressive wing and Trump’s hardline immigration stance as both parties gear up for a high-stakes election season.
