Former DNC chair Donna Brazile said the goal of federal immigration enforcement is “beating down” Democrat cities, Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” roundtable. “Every week, there’s another Democratic-led city that the president is harassing — harassing,” Donna Brazile said. “ICE agents are terrorizing U.S. citizens, taking them off the streets, pulling them out of their homes. For what? I mean, there’s a way to go after the so-called bad actors. There’s a way to work with local law enforcement. But to terrorize people and to create all of this drama, for what reason?” “The president is looking to basically beat down Democratic cities. He’s not beating down Houston. He’s not beating down cities in the red states. Yes, he came into my home state of Louisiana because the governor allowed him to,” she said. “I think the president needs to take a step back and see that these ICE agents, who just got another infusion of cash, they need to be vetted, they need to be trained, and they need to respect not just the citizens, but work with local and state officials. There’s a way to get where he wants to go without terrorizing U.S. citizens.”
