Their move toward more centrist immigration positions seems somewhat isolating for Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has renewed her call to abolish the immigration agency. “I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action,” the New York Democrat said in April. “I don’t think ICE today is working as intended,” Gillibrand told CNN’s Chris Cuomo in June. Instead, Gillibrand said, the U.S. should “reimagine ICE under a new agency.” Her campaign now claims she never called to “abolish” ICE. Other 2020 Democrats have commented on immigration without making it the forefront of their presidential campaigns.
