Klobuchar: ICE Is ‘Making Us Less Safe,’ I Won’t Vote to Fund Them

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said she won’t vote to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) because they were making Americans less safe.

Host Kristen Welker said, “What was your reaction to the video of the killing of Alex Freddy and the claims by the Trump administration that he posed a threat to federal officials? Senator.”

Klobuchar said, “I was absolutely horrified. There have been three killings in Minneapolis since the beginning of the year, and two have been committed by federal agents, one ICE and the other Border Patrol. That’s what we’re dealing with here and there. Also, of course, in the suburbs and the rural areas are 3,000 of them, outnumbering our local police in Minneapolis and St.
