President Donald Trump is inflicting “terror” on communities all around the country with his masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents randomly kidnapping people, Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin told MSNBC’s Jason Johnson on Thursday evening and it’s driving a huge part of the backlash against his administration.”One quick question,” said Johnson. “Every single day, we’re seeing viral videos of ICE agents breaking into homes, attacking people, threatening people, tear-gassing people who are American citizens. We have major elections in cities across America who are being threatened by ICE. Would the Democratic Party be willing to come out as aggressive against ICE as Republicans have against the Department of Education? Would the Democratic Party be willing to say, ‘We will abolish ICE if we take control of the White House in 2028?’ What is your position on ICE moving forward as the head of the DNC? Well, listen, I think what we’ve seen in terms of how this administration has used ICE and weaponized it, having masked thugs, you know, terrorizing communities I’m in LA today, East LA, in fact. And I will tell you, what’s happening out there again is not by accident,” said Martin. “It’s by design to intimidate, to harass, to terrorize communities, to have people live in a constant state of fear. There’s no doubt about it.”As for actually abolishing ICE, he added, that’s a conversation for the future; however, “I will tell you what. You don’t weaponize it in the way that Donald Trump and the Republicans have, that’s for sure. Right? You don’t use our federal government to attack its own people, to terrorize communities. You know, I was talking to a mental health therapist earlier today who was telling me that they have a number of clinics in LA and the number of children coming in who are having generational trauma because they’re seeing their parents and grandparents disappeared right in front of their eyes and snatched and, you know, not coming home for days I mean, this is the type of terror that Donald Trump and his administration and his agencies are inflicting on Americans,” said Martin.”Again, that’s why we’ve seen a huge swing away from Donald Trump at this moment, right?” he added. “Those again, I want to reiterate, it wasn’t just Democrats who showed up at those ‘No Kings’ rallies. It was Americans who are pissed off because they are seeing their Constitution shredded in front of their eyes.” YouTube www. youtube. com.
