In a fundraising email obtained by Fox News, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has reignited her call to abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a stance that has drawn sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers. The email, which frames ICE as a ‘rogue agency’ from the Patriot Act era, is being used as part of her campaign to boost donations. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which oversees House Republicans’ campaign efforts, has criticized Ocasio-Cortez for leveraging progressive rhetoric to fundraise. The White House is also reportedly preparing a $9.4 billion cuts package to be presented to Congress, adding to the political discourse on budgetary matters. In another development, a federal judge recently denied a motion to reconsider an order that facilitates the return of deportees to the U.S., showcasing the ongoing legal battles in immigration policy. These developments highlight the complex interplay of political fundraising, legislative priorities, and ongoing legal issues concerning immigration enforcement in the United States.
