Hakeem Jeffries Does Not Rule Out Calls to Defund ICE Ahead of 2026 Midterms

EXCERPT:

FARAH GRIFFIN: “We were talking about immigration before we went to break. Now, some Democrats, amid the criticisms of ICE right now due to these ICE raids, have started calling for defunding ICE. Do you think that's effective going into the midterms, and do you support those calls?"
JEFFRIES: "Well, I definitely think that, you know, we need aggressive oversight as it relates to the overly aggressive behavior that we've seen, you know, from ICE, from the Department of Homeland Security. It's not what the American people actually, in my view, voted for."
