Democrats who called for ICE to be abolished under Trump largely silent as border crisis rages
Fox News
Several elected Democrats called for ICE to be abolished, broken up or “terminated" during former President Donald Trump's tenure in the White House, but are now silent.
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — two Democrats who sought their party's nomination for president in 2020 — are prominent leaders who previously led calls for ICE to be abolished outright, or broken up during former President Donald Trump's tenure in the White House.

In 2018, during an appearance on CNN, Gillibrand said: "I don’t think ICE today is working as intended. . . . I believe that it has become a deportation force, and I think you should separate the criminal justice from the immigration issues."
