Rep. Tlaib Calls For Defunding ICE And Other Border Security Agencies
As Democrat President Joe Biden’s border crisis worsens, far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called for defunding immigration security agencies during an interview made public this week.
“Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., in a video interview made public this week doubled down on her calls to defund key immigration agencies while warning against efforts by the Biden administration to increase technology at the border,” Fox News reported.
Fox News added, “Tlaib was asked about the push by the Biden administration to increase money spent on border technology for Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) border request includes $665 million in investments toward modernizing land ports of entry and $47 million to invest in detection capabilities in addition to investments in border surveillance technology.”
Tlaib was also asked how she could “turn the tide” at the congressional level on the funding for technologies that prevent activists worry “ultimately prevent migrants from entering the U.S.”
“Look, the simple answer to that question is we must eliminate funding for [Customs and Border Protection], [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and their parent organization, [Department of Homeland Security],” Tlaib said.
The Biden administration already issued a Memorandum in mid-February that made the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “functionally abolished,” according to the Washington Post. The following months illegal immigration levels repeatedly broke 20-year records as the drastically reduced deportation numbers signaled to illegal immigrants that they would be more likely to successfully remain in the United States.
The Washington Post reported in May, “Under new Biden administration rules curtailing immigration enforcement, ICE carried out fewer than 3,000 deportations last month, the lowest level on record. The agency’s 6,000 officers currently average one arrest every two months.”
“ICE under President Biden is an agency on probation,” the Washington Post continued. “The new administration has rejected calls from some Democrats to eliminate the agency entirely, but Biden has placed ICE deportation officers on a leash so tight that some say their work is being functionally abolished.”
A recent lawsuit over the Memorandum from ICE officials and Texas sheriffs against the Biden administration detailed the danger of restricting the ability of border security agencies from deporting illegal immigrants.
“Many extremely dangerous illegal aliens who would have been detained prior to the February 18 Memorandum consistent with federal statutes are now being released from custody,” the lawsuit said. It then cited examples of illegal immigrants who are remaining in the United States as a result of weakened border security agencies, including an illegal immigrant who has “been convicted of sexual battery against a child,” and another who “has been convicted of domestic violence, evading arrest, and multiple counts of driving under the influence.”

The radical elements (Tlaib, et al) need to be censured and removed from office. Every member of our Congress SWORE to uphold the Constitution and defend our nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. These people, and not limited to this corrupted ‘squad’ LIED.

These anti americans need to be brought before a Senate judiciary committee to explain their dangerous hostility towards our first responders,namely the police, and thereby putting the general public in great jeapordy.we are fighting a war against criminals, marauders and hooligans. We need all the help we can get.

Tlaib is as traitorous as she is UGLY, and that’s saying something! It is amazing to me that she and her ilk are not thankful to even walk the streets of America; that she and her cohorts hog and try to decimate the first amendment, yet no one else dares to silence them. I despise them and everything they stand for. She, the raghead, AOC, amd the 4th’s last name—I can’t recall right now—despise everything about this wonderful country and would not leave if wild horses dragged them. I say GET THE HELL OUT, you disgraceful and corrupt “women”, and everyone else on the far left. We had a FABULOUS COUNTRY BEFORE YOU ALL GOT HERE AND BLATANTLY STOLE OUR 2020 ELECTION. All of you Democrats are evil and totally worthless! And some of you GOP politicians and RINOS can also get the hell out!!! WE are all sick and tired of your smiling crap/lies, and we know who you are, and are ashamed of you! Remember the song “Smiling Faces Tell Lies”? That applies to both Democrats and RINOS! We freedom fighters are fed up and disgusted with all of you ungrateful jerks!

I suggest we DEFUND all of them!!!!! Get ’em out of OUR country and dare them to come back at the risk of—— well, you know!! That goes for puppet ol’ Joe. He isn’t capable of doing anything except eating his favorite ice cream and cookies. After all, someone else is running the government ( Susan Rice??? ), and ol’ Joe wanted so desperately to be president (he couldn’t possibly win on his own), so he made a deal with the Devil(s).

The Dems are out to destroy all they can before the mid-terms. This is so obvious. Sleepy Joe is running nothing. What has happened in America is pure treachery and it is evil and intentional. The last point is especially obvious.
