Krystal Ball Criticizes Latino ICE Agents in Podcast Remarks Amplified by National Outlets

Overview

• Speaking on the “I’ve Had It” podcast, Krystal Ball questioned why Latino or brown‑skinned officers work for ICE and said they lack a moral compass.
• She argued those officers are enforcing violent measures against their own communities and claimed self‑described “heritage Americans” do not see them as belonging.
• Fox News, the Daily Caller, and Mediaite published excerpts of the discussion shortly after the episode, highlighting her comments and framing them in the immigration enforcement debate.
• Fox News reported that ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Ball’s remarks.
• The Daily Caller included related claims from Tom Homan, who said on Nov. 25 that ICE plans to have 10,000 additional agents working by mid‑January and cited high deportation figures under the Trump administration.
