The illegal alien supporting crowd was, and still is, hot to trot to get rid of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I guess they want to stop things like this

along with many of the other non-illegal alien enforcement they’re involved in. But, now they want to go after a different agency, as we see here in the LA Times by Richard Parker
Forget ICE, the real problem is CBP
By day, helicopters fly overhead. Dusty patrol vehicles take up neighborhood parking lots. By night, klieg lights illuminate the new, 18-foot steel fence that snakes along the sand dunes. This strip of land thousands of miles long feels like occupied territory. And in a way, it is. I refer, of course, to the border between Mexico and the United States.
After the government incarcerated children in a nearby camp, critics called for the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. But the better target for elimination, or at least downsizing, is the Customs and Border Protection agency, ICE’s big, paramilitary brother. It’s bloated and riddled with corruption.
Well, sure, there have been problems within the agency, or, at least accusations of impropriety. By this measure, we should get rid of the Department Of Education due to number of teachers having sexual relations with children in their charge.
Trump isn’t going to do anything about the problem; he’d rather yell about the MS-13 gang. Besides, the once-humble patrolmen on horseback are now certified members of the national security industrial complex. The taxpayer is paying the giant contractor, Accenture, $300 million to recruit 5,000 more officers. Only the next Congress can do something. Maybe.
Right, because MS-13 members are just saints, right?
Abolish ICE? That’s just a start.
These people will do anything to get rid of enforcement of our borders. Expect this abolish CBP push to grow. And this is the kind of thing that got Trump elected, and helps with his re-election.
