Drawing the ire of the GOP with her clearly “extreme, unhinged agenda,” socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is doubling down on her anti-border security rhetoric.
Specifically, the radical congresswoman is fundraising off a novel push to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
As President Donald Trump works to secure borders and protect American citizens from criminal illegal aliens, AOC and her progressive allies are actively working to dismantle the very agency tasked with enforcing immigration laws.
AOC recently sent out a fundraising email reiterating her extreme position, leaving no room for interpretation about her intentions to dismantle a critical national security agency.
“I believe that ICE, an agency that was just formed in 2003 during the Patriot Act era, is a rogue agency that should not exist,” Ocasio-Cortez declared in her fundraising pitch.
Republicans have swiftly condemned AOC’s stance as part of a dangerous extremist agenda.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) highlighted how her position represents the radical direction of today’s Democrat Party, which increasingly embraces open borders and dismantling law enforcement agencies.
NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella stated:
“House Democrat Minority Leader AOC is doubling down on their party’s most extreme, unhinged agenda, while the rest of her party is bending their knee to the radical wing. At this rate, the Democrat platform in 2026 will be a fever dream of defunding the police, wide open borders, and far-left hellscapes.”
Department of Homeland Security officials report that AOC’s dangerous rhetoric has real-world consequences for the brave men and women enforcing immigration laws.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin revealed that assaults on ICE officers have increased thanks to the campaign led by politicians like Ocasio-Cortez.
McLaughlin remarked:
“Pathetic, yet predictable from AOC. This kind of demonization of ICE officers has led to our officers facing a 413% increase in assaults. While bottom-barrel politicians like AOC fight to protect criminal illegal aliens, our ICE officers will continue putting their lives and safety on the line to arrest murderers, kidnappers, and pedophiles that were let into our country by the Biden Administration’s open border policies.”
AOC’s extremism extends beyond just wanting to abolish ICE. Her platform includes other radical policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and democratic socialism.
The congresswoman has consistently obstructed enforcement of immigration law, even instructing her constituents on how to impede ICE arrests.
While AOC works to dismantle border security, the Trump administration continues its decisive action on illegal immigration.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson questioned AOC’s motives, pointing out that ICE performs the crucial function of protecting American citizens from criminal aliens who have entered the country illegally.
The stark contrast between those who support secure borders and those who want to eliminate immigration enforcement entirely could not be clearer as America faces unprecedented challenges stemming from Joe Biden’s open borders.
