Melat Kiros, an Ethiopian-born candidate running for Congress in Colorado, is advocating for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a key part of her campaign.
• Kiros emphasizes the need to replace ICE with systems that respect immigrant families' contributions, aiming for humane alternatives rather than enforcement.
• She characterizes ICE as a rogue agency that embodies historical racism and Islamophobia, claiming it is responsible for violence against innocents.
• Her proposals include reallocating funds from military enforcement to domestic social programs like housing and healthcare.
• Kiros calls for all Democrats to support her initiative to abolish ICE, using the slogan, “UNMASK, PROSECUTE, ABOLISH ICE.”
• The candidate does not clarify a replacement for immigration enforcement regarding visa overstays or deportations.
Kiros' campaign reflects a radical rethinking of immigration enforcement focused on rights, justice, and the support of immigrant communities while challenging the existing immigration framework.
