Michigan Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has called for abolishing ICE and blamed “white people” and “Islamophobia” for his difficulties playing lacrosse in college.
During a debate on Friday hosted by the Council of Baptist Pastors leaders in Detroit, El-Sayed declared that Democrats must “stand up to the SAVE America Act” and work to abolish ICE.
“We think about ICE as immigration because that’s what they told us ICE was about. Let’s be clear. ICE is not about immigration. That has nothing to do with the southern border,” El-Sayed said.
El-Sayed continued to claim that ICE is actually about “normalizing putting thugs on our streets to intimidate us from voting. That’s what it’s all about.”
“We’ve got to abolish ICE,” he continued.

In an interview with far-left streamer Hasan Piker, El-Sayed complained that traveling for lacrosse games was “tough” because of supposed anti-Muslim bias from “white people.”
Piker said, “white people were the most Islamophobic,” which El-Sayed agreed with.
