Democrat Rep. Jayapal Calls ICE ‘Terrorist Force’ as Attacks on Agents Rise 500%
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Washington state Democrat, has sparked outrage by publicly labeling ICE a “terrorist force” in a shocking Instagram post. The progressive congresswoman wrote that “ICE is acting like a terrorist force” and claimed that “people across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men.”
During an interview with Brianna Keilar on “CNN News Central,” the host spoke to Jayapal about her Tuesday Instagram post where she wrote that “ICE is acting like a terrorist force. People across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men. No oversight, no accountability. Completely lawless.”
“What is deranged and cruel and outrageous is that, literally, we are seeing ICE agents, I assume they’re ICE agents. They say they are. They don’t have any identification. They’re wearing masks. They’re in plain clothes. They are coming and kidnapping and disappearing people on the streets of the United States.”
The White House quickly condemned Jayapal’s dangerous rhetoric. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called the comments “disgusting” and demanded an immediate apology, noting that “Heroic ICE officers are simply doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law, with the utmost professionalism.”
