Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was mocked online Tuesday evening for giving only a mild criticism to President Joe Biden\u2019s decision to open an immigrant detention facility for kids\u2014something she called \u201cconcentration camps\u201d when it was under President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s statement addressing the issue came after critics started to call her out online over her silence over the issue after she made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ocasio-cortez-makes-wild-claims-about-cbp-facility-ryan-saavedra\">spectacle<\/a> over it under the last administration. The Washington Post reported this week that the Biden administration reopened a facility that the Trump administration previously used for over a month to house migrants children amid a surge at the border. Biden had to reopen the facility because coronavirus restrictions allow for fewer kids to be housed in the same facility and because there has been an increase of minors apprehended at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Trump administration, Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly called the facilities \u201cconcentration camps,\u201d which is factually false. Immigration detention facilities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/immigration-expert-shreds-ocasio-cortez-comparing-ryan-saavedra\">are not<\/a> the same as concentration camps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay \u2013 no matter the administration or party,\u201d AOC started out. However, a short time later she started to change her tune, adding, \u201cOur immigration system is built on a carceral framework. It\u2019s no accident that challenging how we approach both these issues are considered \u2018controversial\u2019 stances. They require reimagining our relationship to each other and challenging common assumptions we take for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s only 2 mos into this admin &#038; our fraught, unjust immigration system will not transform in that time,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez continued, in what appeared to be a reversal of her earlier statement, which was only a mild criticism compared to her over-the-top false claims made during the Trump-era. \u201cThat\u2019s why bold reimagination is so impt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez concluded by calling for the destruction of the Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency that was created after 9\/11 to ensure that the events of that day never happen again. She also called for the destruction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which removes criminal illegal aliens from America\u2019s streets, including murders, rapists, traffickers, and child sex predators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDHS shouldn\u2019t exist, agencies should be reorganized, ICE gotta go,\u201d she said, \u201cban for-profit detention, create climate refugee status &#038; more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve Guest, Special Advisor for Communications for Sen.
