House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) called for “aggressive oversight” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during an appearance on ABC’s The View Monday. He criticized the agency’s recent conduct under the Trump administration and defended immigrant communities targeted by federal enforcement.

Pressed by cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin on whether he supported progressive calls to defund ICE, Jeffries stopped short of endorsing the idea but condemned the agency’s “overly aggressive behavior,” and pledged that House Democrats would closely scrutinize ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.
