Dem candidate's support for abolish ICE movement is 'disgraceful,' former immigration official says
Fox News
Former ICE Acting Director Jonathan Fahey is warning of the danger some congressional Democratic candidates pose to the agency's mission of securing America's borders.
One Democratic Senate candidate in particular, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is seeking to unseat incumbent GOP Sen. Ron Johnson in the Badger State's Nov. 8 midterm election, has liked numerous tweets that called for ICE to be abolished and criticized the agency. Similarly, in 2019, Barnes told the Wisconsin-based immigration group Voces de la Frontera Action that the "wrong ICE is melting." Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Jonathan Fahey, a former deputy assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security who later served as the acting director of ICE from December 2020 to January 2021, reacted to the rhetoric from Barnes and considered it to be detrimental to ICE's mission to provide safety for Americans.
