Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Congress should reconsider the nations immigration enforcement system and possibly start from scratch by eliminating the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Theres no question that weve got to critically reexamine ICE and its role, and the way that it is being administered, and the work it is doing, Harris said on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday. And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.

Harris remarks came in response to a question from host Kasie Hunt about whether she supports abolishing ICE.

Progressive activists have pushed Democratic lawmakers to support abolishing ICE, the governments chief immigration enforcement arm that was established in 2002 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in response to President Donald Trump s push to reduce the numbers of immigrants coming to the U.S. from Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.

Trumps efforts range from banning citizens from certain countries from entering the U.S. to ramping up deportations of undocumented immigrants, shrinking the number of refugees accepted into the country, cracking down on students who overstay their visas and the zero tolerance policy at the border with Mexico that led to children being separated from their parents.
