Arizona Dem Senate Candidate: Abolishing ICE ‘Doesn’t Make Any Sense’

Arizona Dem Senate Candidate: Abolishing ICE ‘Doesn’t Make Any Sense’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

Democratic Senate candidate and current Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) said on Thursday that abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also referred to as ICE, "doesn't make any sense."

"I think most Americans would agree that we could use some reform," Sinema said about ICE. "For instance, ICE targeting individuals who haven't done anything wrong, who were just housekeepers or working at restaurants. Those are individuals who are working their hardest to become a part of the American dream. So abolishing ICE isn't realistic and doesn't make any sense."

Sinema's comments echo Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.), who said abolishing ICE would accomplish "nothing."
