Ocasio-Cortez Fires Off Her Most Unhinged Rant Against ICE Yet
Far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote a Twitter rant against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, accusing the law enforcement agency of rape.
Ocasio-Cortez, in true socialist fashion, created a list of opponents within her party after 26 Democratic representatives voted for a provision that will require ICE to be notified when an illegal immigrant tries to purchase a gun.
On Wednesday, House Democrats voted for an anti-gun bill that will require background checks on all gun sales.
The bill would be considered a huge win for Democrats if it wasn’t spoiled by an amendment that 26 of them helped approve.
The amendment, which infuriated Ocasio-Cortez, will help deter illegal immigrants from buying firearms.
Ocasio-Cortez threatened to make a list of Democrats to challenge in upcoming elections, according to The Washington Post.
The Post reported that Ocasio-Cortez indicated that “she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election.”
The representative’s spokesman, Corbin Trent, said that Democrats who vote with Republicans “are putting themselves on a list.”
Ocasio-Cortez disputed the report and elaborated on the controversy by tweeting she is upset with Democrats for giving “more power” to ICE.
Again, didn’t threaten a primary.
I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ to vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning.
Because I think an agency that pins children down + forcibly injects them w/ antipsychotic drugs shouldn’t be given more power. https://t.co/1e3cWXzOT6

Ocasio-Cortez also accused ICE of “widespread reporting of rape.”
If you’re mad that I think people SHOULD KNOW when Dems vote to expand ICE powers, then be mad.
ICE is a dangerous agency with 0 accountability, widespread reporting of rape, abuse of power, + children dying in DHS custody.
Having a D next to your name doesn’t make that right.

Ocasio-Cortez seems to be confused. It is MS-13 gang members — the animals who ICE protects us from — who are known to peddle drugs, commit rape and assault.
There are numerous reports of ICE arresting illegal immigrants who are wanted for heinous crimes such as murder and human trafficking.
Without ICE, there would be many more murderers, rapists and drug dealers running amok — which doesn’t seem to bother Ocasio-Cortez.
The representative wants to abolish ICE and leave Americans at the mercy of violent gang members and drug lords.
And she seems intent on getting rid of the few Democrats who had enough sense to keep illegal immigrants from purchasing guns in America.
Ocasio-Cortez is living in a fantasy world where law enforcement officials are the bad guys.
