‘If there are violent people in our communities, yes we need to deport them’

In Spanish Language Interview, Beto O’Rourke Says He Doesn’t Want to Abolish ICE (The Washington Free Beacon)

Univision anchor Jorge Ramos repeatedly pressed O'Rourke during a recent interview in the candidate's "native Spanish," but O'Rourke refused to join the ranks of the #AbolishICE movement.

"You are the only candidate that lives in the border area. You have said that ICE is a deportation force. Would you abolish ICE as president?" Ramos asked.

O'Rourke initially dodged the question, saying he wanted to abolish the ICE's practices of deporting millions of American immigrants and splitting up families. When Ramos asked a second time whether he would abolish the agency, O'Rourke said he wouldn't, but would like to see ICE reform its deportation policies.
