President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at Democrats and activists who have called for abolishing or replacing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Trump, however, in repeated tweets has defended the agency, saying Saturday, "To the great and courageous men and women of ICE, do not worry or lose your spirit". Zero chance, It will never happen!
They called for an end to the Trump administration policy that resulted in separating migrant families at the border and, as the viral protest heated up, began to chant: "Abolish ICE!" Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's stance that ICE should be abolished has gained prominence since her longshot victory in Tuesday's Democratic congressional primary over U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley in NY.
The Trump administration's crackdown on immigration has prompted some Democrats and activists on the left to call for ICE to be abolished.
Momentum has been steadily building to do away with ICE, which was created in 2003, following this week's upset victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who successfully unseated a senior Democrat in the House of Representatives for the party's nomination.
"It's important for this administration to know that these policies that rip apart families - that treat people as less than human, like they're vermin - are not the way of God, they are not the law of love", said the Rev. Julie Hoplamazian, an Episcopal priest marching in Brooklyn.
"Even the cops don't like us anymore, because they're listening to the news also", said an agent who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described "democratic-socialist", who ran on abolishing ICE.

"Because of (ICE's) reputation, no one wants to talk to them because they are afraid they are going to be deported", he said.
Immigrant advocacy groups say they're thrilled - and surprised - to see the issue gaining traction among those not tied to immigration.
In major cities and tiny towns, hundreds of thousands of marchers gathered Saturday across America, moved by accounts of children separated from their parents at the U.S. -Mexico border, in the latest act of mass resistance against President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Asked on CNN about her proposal to abolish ICE, Gillibrand said "I don't think ICE today is working as intended".
'To the great and fearless men and women of ICE, do not worry or lose your spirit.
An ICE spokesman could not be reached for comment on this story, but during a stop in North Dakota this week, Trump warned that if ICE were eliminated, the country would be "overrun with the worst criminal elements you have ever seen".
This aide said the party should focus on "the cruelty of the actions around family separations and some of the ridiculous tactics used by ICE to bully state and local governments" to comply with federal immigration detainers. He will serve as deputy director and acting director of ICE, Nielsen said in a statement. 'So courageous! The radical left Dems want you out.
