Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has repeatedly vowed to defund and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Now the Democratic-socialist is accusing ICE of rape and injecting children with unknown substances.
“If you’re mad that I think people SHOULD KNOW when Dems vote to expand ICE powers, then be mad,” the freshman congresswoman tweeted. “ICE is a dangerous agency with 0 accountability, widespread reporting of rape, abuse of power, + children dying in DHS custody. Having a D next to your name doesn’t make that right.”
“Again, didn’t threaten a primary,” she continued. “I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ to vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning. Because I think an agency that pins children down + forcibly injects them w/ antipsychotic drugs shouldn’t be given more power.”

Ocasio-Cortez launched the twitter tirade attacking ICE in the wake of a party vote supporting a GOP amendment requiring “undocumented immigrants who try to buy guns to be reported to ICE,” according to reports.
“I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning. Because I think an agency that pins children down + forcibly injects them w/ antipsychotic drugs shouldn’t be given more power,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
She blasted colleagues in her own party for supporting the legislation that would prevent illegals from obtaining firearms.
“Mind you, the small splinter group of Dems that tried to deny Pelosi the speakership, fund the wall during the shutdown when the public didn’t want it, & are now voting in surprise Ice amendments to gun safety legislation are being called the “moderate wing” of the party.”
Last month, the New York Democrat argued all Latino people must be exempt from immigration laws because of descendants of Native people and therefore “native” to U.S. lands.

“Because we are standing on Native land, and Latino people are descendants of Native people. And we cannot be told and criminalized simply for our identity and our status,” she said. “[ICE] do not deserve a dime until they can prove that they are honoring human rights until they can make a good faith effort to expand and embrace immigrants. Until they can prove good faith to an American ideal, they do not deserve any resource for their radical agenda.”
