Vice President Kamala Harris, as a U.S. senator from California, once suggested that agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are comparable to the Ku Klux Klan, sparking major pushback from a high-ranking official from the agency and outrage from Republicans.
As many people point out, President Joe Biden assigned Harris the role of “Border czar” in March 2021, just a few months after the two of them took office as the “Biden-Harris administration,” and a video clip of the exchange from 2018 is currently making the rounds on social media.
The clip also went viral again after Biden decided on Sunday to end his reelection campaign and endorse Harris for the Democratic Party nomination.
“Democrat Senator Kamala Harris compares ICE to the KKK and appears to suggest that they are a terrorist group during a Senate hearing to consider the nomination of Ronald Vitello to be the director of ICE. 51% of ICE agents were Hispanic or Latino at the end of fiscal year 2016,” Daily Wire senior reporter Ryan Saavedra noted on the X platform this week with a clip of the exchange.
