Using the opportunity of his weekly address, Trump made the case for ICE to the American people.

“Yet leading Democrat politicians have called to abolish ICE,” he said. “Nobody even believes it; they want to abolish ICE.”
“So to the courageous public servants at ICE — men and women, great ones — we want you to know that the American people are with you, and my administration has your back, 100 percent. You are the heroes who protect the lives of our citizens, the safety of our communities, and the sovereignty of our great nation.” – READ MORE
