Controversial Democrat influencer Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) escalated her inflammatory rhetoric on Sunday by likening Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to “slave patrols.”
The congresswoman made the inflammatory remarks while attempting to downplay illegal alien crime in America.
“As somebody who understands history, when I see ICE, I see slave patrols,” Crockett told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.
The Texas Democrat went on to argue that “white supremacists” commit murders at a higher rate than illegal aliens.
“For every immigrant that you have an example of, I’ll raise you at least two to five white supremacists, if not more, right?” Crockett claimed.
Crockett did not produce any evidence to support these claims, however.
ICE: Thousands Of Convicted Murderers On The Docket
Crockett’s comments came days after she sparked outrage by calling Kayla Hamilton a “random dead person” during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Hamilton was a 20-year-old autistic woman who was raped and murdered by an MS-13 gang member who crossed into the country illegally.
Her latest remarks ignore ICE’s own reporting.
As of September 2024, the agency said its docket included 13,000 convicted murderers and 1,845 facing homicide charges.
ICE also revealed that more than 662,000 illegal immigrants on its docket have criminal histories inside the U.S. and abroad.
