Fetterman says local Democrats should be helping ICE round up migrants, not shielding them

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said Sunday during a Fox News appearance that local Democrat officials shielding criminal migrants from ICE should be helping the Trump administration round them up instead.

“I hope every local official would agree that anyone here -- that any of the migrants that are here with criminal backgrounds are engaging in criminal behavior. I think they should support that. Now if ICE comes to round them up I hope they would provide that kind of support,” Fetterman said.

Fetterman made the distinction between illegal immigrants who have committed crimes and those who hadn't.

“I certainly would never support terrorizing otherwise innocent migrants in those kinds of situations or kicking in a door at a school,” Fetterman continued. “But I think we can all agree that every migrant here with a criminal background or engaging in criminal behavior all needs to go.”

Trump border czar Tom Homan and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem have both warned that there could be repercussions for those in sanctuary cities that obstruct ICE.

Noem has also said that raids will be conducted in those cities despite opposition.
