Pramila Jayapal doubles down on comments comparing ICE to a ‘terrorist force'
On Tuesday, Jayapal claimed ICE was 'acting like a terrorist force' as the agency continues mass deporting illegal immigrants.
'ICE is acting like a terrorist force. People across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men. No oversight, no accountability. Completely lawless,' Jayapal wrote.
During an interview on 'CNN News Central', the representative was asked about her post and the White House's response to it.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson released a statement slamming Jayapal's 'disgusting' comments.
'Jayapal's disgusting comments warrant an immediate apology. Heroic ICE officers are simply doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law, with the utmost professionalism,' Jackson's statement read.
