Rep. Adriano Espaillat Responds to RNC Attack On His Call to 'Abolish Ice': "Damn Right"

In response to the Republican National Committee accusing him of wanting to abolish ICE, Congressman Adriano Espaillat released the following statement:

“Damn right. 

I’m not afraid to say what millions of people already know: this system is broken, cruel, and beyond reform. We need an immigration system rooted in dignity, justice, and human rights, not fear and abuse.”
