Overview

• In a Sunday MSNBC interview, Rep. Jasmine Crockett likened ICE to slave patrols and said American policing grew out of slave patrols.
• Crockett criticized a recent Supreme Court decision that she says permits profiling based on race or speaking Spanish, as the Court lifted limits on Los Angeles raids and broadened criteria for questioning.
• Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons denounced her remarks on Fox News on Monday, calling them "disgusting" and saying such rhetoric gets agents hurt.
• Lyons cited assaults on personnel rising by more than 100% and referenced a recent incident in which an officer used a weapon against a vehicle attack.
• Opponents pointed to ICE data showing 13,000 convicted murderers and more than 662,000 people with criminal histories on its docket, while Crockett argued White supremacists commit murders at higher rates than undocumented immigrants.
