anita kumar and jason johnson. anita, let me start with you and this issue of abolishing i.c.e.. we heard from congresswoman gillibrand calling for this. how many lawmakers roughly are pushing for the abolition of this agency, this part of the department of homeland security? right. it s gotten pretty quick here that more and more democrats are supporting. it s not the overwhelming number of them but it is gaining steam in just the last few days and a bit of a risky move just because as the president has alluded to, it s not that i.c.e. deals only with deportation and what democrats seem to be talking about but i.c.e. deals with trafficking and smuggling and other things and he s talking about the other crimes. ely thaina, there s a hunger
it and also tweeted. so i mean, he did push that bill but i think he also knew like many of us that it probably was not going to pass. he tends to do this thing where after something fails he says i never supported it in the first place and not the first time he s done that. but, you know, but he did push that bill. he did want immigration to be talked about. he thinks it s a good issue for republicans and didn t mind it was out there. big protests across the country yesterday. there were protests in washington earlier in the week. more than 500 individuals arrested in the hart senate office building protesting this. tammy duckworth was there protesting and talking with jake tapper on cnn this morning. let s listen what she had to say about abolishing i.c.e. do it now, you have the same president with the same failed policies. whatever you replace it with will reflect what the president wants to do. no. you don t support abolishing
