AOC’s New Fundraising Pitch: Let Criminals Stay!
Well folks, she’s at it again. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, bartender-turned-border-policy-expert, is now using her long-standing demand to abolish ICE as a shiny new hook to reel in those small-dollar donations. Because nothing says “protect American families” quite like dismantling the agency tasked with removing murderers, kidnappers, and gang members from our streets. In her latest fundraising email, AOC describes ICE as a “rogue agency that should not exist.” You’d think she was talking about TikTok influencers, not federal law enforcement.
AOC’s Fundraising Email: “Why Am I Considered Extreme?”
You’ve got to admire the gall. In her May 26th fundraising email, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asks: “Why am I considered to be extreme?” She then answers herself with a greatest-hits collection of progressive buzzwords: Medicare for All, Green New Deal, democratic socialism, and—wait for it—abolishing ICE. She insists her critics are driven by racism, classism, misogyny, and ageism—not by the totally reasonable concern that she wants to dismantle immigration enforcement during a historic border crisis. If you disagree, it must be because you hate waitresses.
Campaign Cash Over National Security
While most of us are worried about inflation, crime, and, oh I don’t know—national sovereignty—AOC is turning open borders into open wallets. Her email reads like a pitch for a Netflix series called Anarchy: The Progressive Chronicles. She proudly declares she breaks from her party, shuns corporate money, and thinks capitalism is cooked. In other words, she’s not just coming for ICE—she’s coming for your 401(k) too.
Meanwhile, ICE Is Actually Doing Its Job
While AOC and her donor base are busy virtue-signaling over soy lattes, ICE under President Trump’s administration is actually removing criminals—real ones, not the ones AOC sees in her dreams every time she hears the word “bipartisanship.” In just Trump’s first 100 days of his second term, ICE arrested over 66,000 illegal immigrants and removed nearly the same number. Seventy-five percent of those had been charged with crimes. But sure, let’s abolish them and see how that works out in your neighborhood.
Tricia McLaughlin from DHS Drops the Mic
Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at DHS, delivered what can only be described as a diplomatic roundhouse kick: she reminded the world that thanks to rhetoric like AOC’s, assaults on ICE officers have skyrocketed 413%. You heard that right. Four. Hundred. Thirteen. Percent. While AOC is busy fantasizing about abolishing ICE, agents are out there arresting pedophiles and traffickers that Biden’s open border policies let in. But don’t worry—AOC’s got another Instagram Live planned to explain how it’s all Trump’s fault.
Monetizing Extremism, One $16 Donation at a Time
This isn’t just a plea for policy support—it’s a sales pitch. AOC boasts that the average donation to her campaign is just $16. That’s right, for less than the cost of a New York City cocktail, you too can help eliminate federal immigration enforcement. She even says the money goes to pay her team “a dignified wage.” Apparently, dignity means working to undermine law enforcement while pretending critics are just ageist and classist. If you think that’s extreme, you’re probably part of the oppressive machine—or worse, someone who believes in borders.
The White House Responds: “Democrat Party Leader AOC”
Even the White House has had enough of this nonsense. In a not-so-subtle jab, they labeled her the “Democrat Party Leader,” daring her own party to either disown her or admit that yes, the radicals are in charge now. The statement reminded Americans that ICE officers are risking their lives daily while being demonized by grandstanding politicians who think slogans make policy. Spoiler alert: They don’t.
AOC’s Ongoing Feud with ICE and Tom Homan
As if it couldn’t get more unhinged, AOC has an actual feud with former ICE Director Tom Homan. She’s not just criticizing policy—she’s actively instructing constituents on how to resist ICE arrests and may even be facing a DOJ probe for hosting a webinar on the topic. That’s right: while ICE agents are enforcing the law, she’s coaching people on how to duck it. If you wrote this into a TV show, they’d say it’s too far-fetched.
Democrats in Disarray—And AOC Wants the Throne
Let’s not kid ourselves. This isn’t just AOC being AOC. It’s strategic. She’s positioning herself for 2028, hoping that if she waves the “abolish ICE” flag high enough, the far-left base will crown her queen of the movement. Meanwhile, moderate Democrats are too busy hiding under their desks to say a word. Because speaking up might get you primaried by someone with a TikTok account and a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker.
Final Thoughts:
This entire stunt has nothing to do with real solutions or border reform. It’s political theater wrapped in socialist glitter. AOC isn’t offering ideas—she’s offering soundbites for MSNBC and donation buttons for ActBlue. Abolishing ICE wouldn’t make America safer; it would turn every city into a sanctuary for cartels and chaos. But hey, at least the fundraising numbers would look good.
