Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) threw his support behind the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, noting that the agency “performs an important job” in the United States.
“ICE performs an important job for our country,” Fetterman wrote in a post on X, adding that “any calls to abolish ICE” are inappropriate and outrageous.
The comments from Fetterman come as Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have called for abolishing ICE, which enforces the immigration laws in the U.S.
Fetterman’s post comes as President Donald Trump was asked on Wednesday about Fetterman’s comments criticizing “Democrats who want to abolish” ICE or “treat them as criminals,” according to the Daily Mail. Trump described Fetterman as being “right.”
Per the outlet:
Fetterman has criticized Democrats who want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or ‘treat them as criminals.’
And he’s said any attack on ICE agents are ‘absolutely unacceptable. Terrible. Awful.’
“The new John Fetterman is exactly what you said, he’s right,” Trump said. “He’s right.”
