If you believe the “young, fresh, face of the Democratic Party,” ICE is a violent, racist, organization of jackbooted child-killers. According to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they aren’t here to protect you as much as they’re here to violate human rights and make sure you’re living in a state of constant fear. She has, repeatedly, called for this diabolical organization to be defunded, disbanded, and consigned to history’s scrap heap along with free markets and capitalism.

Last night, she delivered what some are calling an “impassioned rebuttal” to President Trump’s immigration speech. Others are calling it an “unhinged diatribe,” but that’s neither here nor there. The fact is, she was clearly worked up as she demanded that the President defend the continued existence of ICE and explain why it should continue to be funded.

As she put it:

“No one should feel unsafe in the United States of America – and that includes our amazing and beautiful and productive immigrant community. And, moreover, the one thing the President has not talked about is the fact that he has systematically engaged in the violation of international human rights borders – human rights – on our border. He has separated children from their families. He talks about what happened the day after Christmas? On the day of Christmas a child died in ICE custody. TRENDING: Mercedes Schlapp: Yes, the Economy is Bouncing Back, and Here's Why Trump's Policies are Responsible The president should not be asking for more money to an agency that has systematically violated human rights. The president should really be defending why we are funding such an agency at all. Because right now, what we are seeing is death. Right now, what we are seeing is the violation of human rights.”

Now, we could get into all of her half-truths, misstatements, and logical fallacies about ICE. We could even discuss the fact that the supposed “human rights abuses” she cites were also the policy under Barack Obama. We’re not going to do that. Instead, we’re going to wish for a world where someone – anyone – was in a position to vote against giving ICE the money that keeps the agency up and running.

Oh, wait. we already live in that world. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is currently in that position. And, by the way, last week she voted to ensure ICE was funded through the remainder of the fiscal year.

As GovTrack notes, H.J.Res. 1 passed with overwhelming Democratic support on January 3rd.

This was the vote on the House Democrats’ continuing resolution to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the midst of the government shutdown beginning on December 22, 2018.

That’s right, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was one of the “ayes,” and we didn’t hear a peep out of her before she cast her vote.

Before you think “sure, but strategery,” please keep in mind that her vote was not required for passage of the measure. If she genuinely believes everything she says about ICE, she could have cast a “no” vote, registered her displeasure, and the initiative still would have passed. There was no strategical need for her to be on board, particularly when that represented a reversal of a central campaign promise.

As Yahoo News noted, Dems were more concerned with defending that innocuous dancing video:

The video was posted by an anonymous Twitter account, whose account name is taken from a far-right conspiracy theory called “Q Anon.” The account’s ostensible aim was to make Ocasio-Cortez (or “AOC” as she’s popularly known online) look bad on the day she was sworn in, but her online fans loved the video and turned it into an internet phenomenon over the weekend. Ocasio-Cortez herself even responded by tweeting a new video of herself dancing outside her new office on Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, while everyone was celebrating Ocasio-Cortez cutting footloose in college and clapping back at her trolls, the newly sworn-in representative from New York was breaking from one of her signature campaign promises of abolishing ICE.

Of H.J.Res. 1, Yahoo said:

Ocasio-Cortez and most Democrats voted in favor of this resolution, which did not include funding for Trump’s southern border wall, and the president stated he would not sign on to the resolution because it lacks border funding. But Ocasio-Cortez’s vote is still a significant departure from her explicitly anti-ICE campaign messaging.

So, let the record show: When the chips were down, and Ocasio-Cortez had the chance to vote against continuing to fund human rights abuses, she chose not to do so.

Since she claims to be so vehemently anti-ICE, maybe someone should ask HER to defend her support of the agency.
