Joe Biden: I Will Fire Any ICE Agent That Tries To Deport Anyone Without a Felony and ‘I Don’t Consider Drunk Driving To Be a Felony’

‘I will hold ICE agents accountable if in fact they step on my executive orders’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "I would hold ICE agents accountable if in fact they stepped over my executive orders, which is no arrest of anyone outside of the school. Look at — you know, one of the things that's happening is, particularly for Latino and Hispanic kids, is the incredible pressure on them in terms of their sense of security. They go off to school wondering whether their mom comes and picks them up, if she's not going to be there because an ICE agent was there to arrest her. Or she takes him to the doctor, that she's going to not be there because she is 'undocumented' and an ICE agent is going to pick him up."

INTERVIEWER: "So how do you change the culture?"

BIDEN: "You change the culture by saying you're going to get fired. You're fired if in fact you do that. You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed and I don't count drunk driving as a felony."
