Abolish ICE and redirect its funding to immigration courts

El-Sayed supports abolishing ICE, which he says cannot be reformed or retrained. He supports a safe, secure border and immigration enforcement under a new structure that prioritizes human dignity and the rule of law. He would repurpose ICE funds to expand the legal infrastructure of courts and create a clear path to citizenship for people stuck in the current system.

Context: The proposed replacement enforcement structure is not specified in detail.

In their own words

I believe that ICE funds should be repurposed to build out the legal infrastructure of courts
