What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

A coalition of advocacy groups and federal legislators launched a campaign urging Congress to defund and eliminate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This push is tied to the 'Melt ICE Act,' a bill coauthored by Delia Ramirez that aims to abolish current detention operations and redirect appropriations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE. Separately, controversy arose regarding DHS's plan to spend up to $20 million on devices capable of delivering painful electric shocks, which the agency was planning to purchase from Compliant Technologies.

Ramirez has been using her platform as a representative to advocate for these comprehensive policy changes regarding DHS. The calls for abolition are predicated on the belief that because DHS and ICE were created by Congress, they can be eliminated by Congress. The calls are made amid ongoing criticism regarding systemic failures in immigration processing.
