Abdul El-Sayed: Trump Is ‘Weaponizing ICE Against the Idea of the Rule of Law Itself’

‘The idea they should just be governed simply by Stephen Miller and Donald Trump without any enforcement around basic work law or constitution itself, that to me is frustrating’

EXCERPT:

EL-SAYED: “First of all, Will, you and I both know that an election law — immigration law is not criminal law. Immigration law is civil law. It’s like getting a parking ticket. So, the idea that we should have a paramilitary force that is weaponized on our streets to enforce civil law seems to me to be a bit over the top, particularly considering the fact that the current president is weaponizing ICE against the idea of the rule of law itself, the idea that they should just be governed simply by Stephen Miller and Donald Trump without any enforcement around basic warrant law or the Constitution itself. That, to me, is frustrating.”
