On Thursday, Senator Ted Cruz from Texas appeared on Fox News’ "Hannity" to express his strong criticism of the Democratic Party’s stance on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Cruz accused the party of inciting a left-wing mob against ICE, suggesting that this behavior puts the lives of ICE agents at risk.
Cruz described the rhetoric coming from Democrats as dangerous and harmful. He pointed out that many Democrats have shown hostility towards law enforcement, calling for the abolition of police and ICE. He specifically mentioned Boston’s Democratic mayor, Michelle Wu, who compared ICE agents to Nazis, calling such statements hateful. Cruz also highlighted comments from House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who called for the identification of ICE agents, implying that it was a call for violence.
The senator expressed his outrage over what he sees as a lack of concern from Democrats for the safety of American citizens. He noted that for years, children have been victims of human trafficking, and he accused Democrats of ignoring these issues for political gain. Cruz argued that Democrats view illegal immigrants as future voters, which he believes reflects a troubling disregard for public safety.
He concluded his remarks by expressing a desire for a more reasonable opposition party, rather than one driven by anger and resentment. Cruz’s comments come amid ongoing debates about immigration policy and the role of ICE in enforcing these laws.
