However, the executive order did not stop the rage of many Trump immigration critics. As such, some left-leaning Americans have publicly championed the abolition of ICE.
This is a proposed reform that many, particularly conservatives, have strongly condemned, saying that ICE is a necessary force designed to uphold immigration laws.
Trump and Immigration
The robust enforcement of immigration laws served as one of the main messages of Trump’s 2016 campaign. The then-candidate repeatedly said that illegal immigration was harming the country.
Trump’s “zero tolerance policy” on immigration remains a strongly divisive topic. Americans on both sides of the political aisle have contrasting ideas on how to go about immigration reform. Moreover, there are concerns about when, and if, previously separated migrant children will be reunited with their parents.
Like Conway, Trump has censured those in favor of the abolition of ICE.
The Democrats have a death wish, in more ways than one – they actually want to abolish ICE. This should cost them heavily in the Midterms. Yesterday, the Republicans overwhelmingly passed a bill supporting ICE!

The two biggest opponents of ICE in America today are the Democratic Party and MS-13!
