Legislation to eradicate ICE would dissolve agency within a year: Report

Legislation being drafted by Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., to eradicate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would dissolve the agency within a year of enactment and would establish a bipartisan group to decide which agencies would manage necessary ICE functions, according to a new report.

Congressional and minority party leaders would appoint eight members to the group. Nine members from the “major civil society and immigrants’ rights organizations and individuals directly impacted by ICE practices” would also be included in the group, the Washington Post reports.
