Crockett Presses Trump Impeachment, Doubles Down on ICE Rhetoric in Tight Texas Democratic Senate Race

Conflicting polls keep the Democratic contest unsettled heading into the March 3 primary.

Overview

  • Crockett told CBS News Texas that current ICE operations resemble slave patrols and said tactics evoke Nazi Germany after the Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good.
  • Sen. John Cornyn condemned her comments and argued the Minneapolis victim should have complied with officers’ instructions.
  • Crockett’s campaign released an internal HIT Strategies poll showing her ahead of James Talarico 46% to 33%, while an Emerson/Nexstar survey had Talarico leading 47% to 38%.
  • At the Texas AFL-CIO debate, Talarico also denounced ICE, saying it should be dismantled and replaced with an agency focused on public safety.
  • Crockett said there is more than enough to impeach President Donald Trump, citing his tariffs, and she has co-sponsored articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
