Ken Cuccinelli: ICE Agents Personally Targeted by Congress, Biden Admin's Parole Abuse

ICE Agents Under Attack

• 🎯 ICE agents are facing unprecedented personal targeting, including from members of Congress, putting law enforcement officers at risk.
• 🛡️ The primary responsibility of leading a law enforcement agency is the protection of its agents, akin to the first rule of first aid.
• ⚠️ If an agency is unwilling to protect its own agents, whether Capitol Police or ICE, it has no business sending them into the field, which is deemed immoral.

Border Control and Immigration Policy

• 📉 Data indicates that under the Trump administration, international migrant crossings were at a 20-year low.
• 📈 The Biden administration changed course, leading to an increase in international immigrants to an all-time high.
• 🚫 Decisions not to detain individuals, not to use expedited removal, and to end cooperation agreements with Central American countries have caused a surge in illegal immigration.

Parole Program Abuse and Census Data

• 📊 The foreign-born population grew by over 8 million during the Biden administration, with a significant portion being new illegal immigrants.
• ⚖️ The Biden administration unlawfully expanded parole programs, bringing over a million individuals into the country under the guise of a legal process.
• 📈 The use of parole programs, particularly the CHNV system and the CBP1 app, has led to a substantial increase in paroled individuals into the US.
• 📉 Data shows a significant increase in absentee removal orders, indicating that many paroled individuals did not return for their hearings.

Political Implications of Immigration

• 🗳️ The arrival of immigrants in Democratic-leaning states tends to help Democrats.
• 🏘️ Immigrant arrivals can create districts with fewer citizens, and these districts tend to vote overwhelmingly Democratic due to the population composition.
• 🏛️ While not directly indicating illegal voting, the demographic shifts can increase Democratic representation.
