Democrats including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have renewed calls to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following a shooting in New York, framing the incident as evidence of systemic failures in immigration enforcement. Lawmakers argue that current policies contribute to instability and violence, demanding structural changes to address what they describe as a broken system. The push comes amid ongoing debates over immigration reform and law enforcement accountability. Critics highlight concerns over ICE’s role in deportations and community safety, while supporters defend its operations as necessary for border security.
