Cynthia Nixon Calls ICE a 'Terrorist Organization' That Should Be Abolished

Actress and aspiring New York governor Cynthia Nixon is calling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a “terrorist organization” that ought to be disbanded.
Nixon made her comments last night while expressing support for Debora Vasquez-Barrios at St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist Church on the Upper West Side. Vasquez-Barrios, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant and mother of two American children, is taking sanctuary at the church for fear that she’ll be deported under President Trump‘s policies because she failed to produce a drivers license during a recent traffic stop by ICE agents.
Here’s what Nixon had to say about this:
“ICE has strayed so far away from its mission. It is supposed to be here to keep Americans safe but what it has turned into, frankly, is a terrorist organization of its own that is terrorizing people who are coming to this country.”
She doubled down later on, tweeting a petition to abolish ICE while taking a shot at Trump directly.
