2 months agoSenator Calls to Abolish ICE, Says Voting to Fund DHS Supports "Murder"
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) has come out swinging in favor of abolishing ICE and blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), demanding that Democrats use their leverage to do so after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) released a tepid set of demands for a funding vote in the coming days. In a short video posted to social media on Wednesday evening, Markey said that Democrats "have the power" to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and must use it.

The poll results released this week could further embolden her.
