Rashida Tlaib that would release all prisoners from federal detention facilities within ten years, press secretary Jen Psaki said at her Tuesday press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president does not support abolishing prisons, he does not support defunding the police. He thinks measures like that will make us less safe, and he would not support legislation that includes it,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>Tlaib has expressed support for the BREATHE Act, a <a href=\"https:\/\/breatheact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Section-1-The-BREATHE-Act-Summary.pdf\">plan<\/a> written by the left-wing Movement for Black Lives that would require the \u201cfull decarceration of federal detention facilities within ten years\u201d and ban common forms of punishment and surveillance, such as parole, probation and electronic ankle monitoring. The BREATHE Act has not been introduced as a formal piece of legislation, but has received support from Tlaib and Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/07\/08\/john-kennedy-breathe-act-squad\/\"><strong>(RELATED: \u2018Serious Effort To Compete In The Woke Olympics\u2019: John Kennedy Criticizes BREATHE Act, Calls Squad Members \u2018Marxists\u2019)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During a Sunday appearance on Axios on HBO, Tlaib downplayed the BREATHE Act\u2019s provisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at the folks that are mentally ill who have substance abuse problems,\u201d Tlaib <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/22\/rashida-tlaib-human-trafficker-prison-reform\/\">told<\/a> Jonathan Swan. \u201cWhy aren\u2019t you asking me about them?
