Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), suggesting that her opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could lead to her arrest by agents under President Trump. Acosta criticized the actions of ICE, stating, &#8220;It&#8217;s not America when ICE agents can show up in masks, sweep people up off the street&#8230;without due process.&#8221; during the discussion, he highlighted the fear among lawmakers regarding potential arrests, especially those who are outspoken against the current governance&#8217;s immigration policies. Crockett agreed, mentioning that her own family holds concerns for her safety due to her political stance, particularly referencing her grandmother&#8217;s worries about her being detained.
