Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has come under immense criticism from left-wing organizations within the past two years. Democrats and many others who lean left-of-center maintain that the immigration enforcement agency is in conflict with U.S. values. In some of the worst-case scenarios, the left-wing accused ICE of human rights violations.
The ongoing censure of ICE has also resulted in various calls to action. Many Democrats favor defunding the agency or even abolishing it altogether. However, 2020 Democrat Joe Biden has a different approach. Rather than abolishing ICE, Biden seeks to “reform” the immigration enforcement agency.

At one point, a reporter asked Biden about the immigration proposals of 2020 contender Bernie Sanders. On multiple occasions, Sanders has taken aim at ICE and moreover called to defund and essentially dismantle the organization.
