President Trump put Democrats and the vicious MS-13 gang in the same category in a fiery tweet sent Wednesday afternoon.
Trump said, “The two biggest opponents of ICE in America today are the Democratic Party and MS-13!”

This tweet comes after a vote in the House of Representatives Wednesday on a resolution to condemn calls on the left to abolish ICE. An number of Democrats also voted against the bill. (RELATED: 34 Democrats, 1 Republican Vote ‘No’ On Resolution To Support ICE)
Trump has previously said that ICE would never be abolished, tweeting in June:
The Democrats are making a strong push to abolish ICE, one of the smartest, toughest and most spirited law enforcement groups of men and women that I have ever seen. I have watched ICE liberate towns from the grasp of MS-13 & clean out the toughest of situations. They are great!

To the great and brave men and women of ICE, do not worry or lose your spirit. You are doing a fantastic job of keeping us safe by eradicating the worst criminal elements. So brave! The radical left Dems want you out. Next it will be all police. Zero chance, It will never happen!
