AOC Shreds Republicans’ ICE Argument In Just 1 Simple Takedown
HuffPost
The Democrat offered a brief yet blunt analysis of her GOP colleagues’ claims after federal immigration agents were deployed to airports nationwide.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) didn’t mince her words when asked about Republicans who are now cool with federal immigration agents not wearing masks despite past claims that officers would be unsafe if they did so.
“They were always full of it then, and they are full of it now,” Ocasio-Cortez told Pablo Manríquez, editor of Migrant Insider, on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Her comments arrive after President Donald Trump announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would be sent to airports nationwide this week in an effort to assist Transportation Security Administration agents juggling staffing shortages and callouts caused by the partial government shutdown.
The move, which critics see as the administration adding fuel to the fire of an already tense situation for travelers, came with a directive from the president for the ICE agents: “NO MASKS.”
Trump, in a post to his Truth Social platform on Monday, wrote that while he’s a “BIG proponent” of agents wearing masks while dealing with “hardened criminals,” he would “greatly appreciate” agents not sporting them at airports.
