The White House has joined with the top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives in condemning bills seeking to prevent any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent from joining state and local police, and to make ICE agents liable for alleged violations of constitutional rights.
“ICE officers are facing a 1300% increase in assaults because of dangerous, untrue smears by elected Democrats,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “Recently, an officer had his finger bitten off by a radical left-wing rioter.”
“ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities—local officials should work with them, not against them,” Jackson added. “Anyone doing otherwise is simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.”
