Democratic Congressman John Larson of Connecticut described U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as “the SS” and “the Gestapo” while addressing protesters in Connecticut on Aug. 27, according to video circulated online. He was responding to an ICE raid that resulted in the arrest of undocumented immigrants. Larson’s remarks quickly drew sharp criticism from conservative commentators, who said the comments demean federal law-enforcement personnel and reflect Democratic favoritism toward undocumented migrants. ICE has not publicly commented on the episode, and Larson’s office has yet to issue a formal statement.
Democrats are the party of illegals. We, the legal immigrants who came here the right way support @ICEgov. We are sick of paying for the illegals and the crime they committed. We are sick of Dems trying so hard to keep them here, draining NH resources including housing. https://t.co/H7JwLWi0Sd

This happened yesterday in Connecticut. Dysgenic freak protesters gathered for a geriatric Democrat congressmen to scream his head off about how ICE is “the SS.” This should actually be a GOP midterm ad. https://t.co/EgYixfKZeH
