White House: 'Deeply disturbing' for Cynthia Nixon to call ICE a 'terrorist organization'

The White House says it is “deeply disturbing” that liberal New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon is referring to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency as a “terrorist organization.”

“It’s deeply disturbing that Cynthia Nixon has no clue of what ICE does to protect Americans and New Yorkers every day from dangerous criminals, terrorists, child smugglers and human traffickers,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement on Monday.

Nixon, who is attempting to position herself to the left of incumbent Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has repeatedly used the phrase to describe the federal government agency that enforces immigration laws.

Nixon, who has joined the liberal calls for the abolishment of ICE, recently tweeted: “I can think of no better description than to call ICE a terrorist organization.”

Note – I showed on video how that Bot Sentinel website listed my own Twitter account as “problematic,” listing me under the Russian bot/troll category, among other conservatives…. yes, real people, not bots or trolls, yet these sites are being cited as “proof” of Russian bot activity.

The Berlin Wall prevented unaccompanied children to cross the border.

I would guess all of them. Anything else?

Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from there they could then travel to West Germany and to other Western European countries. Between 1961 and 1989 the Wall prevented almost all such emigration.

The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East.

The East German government issued shooting orders (Schießbefehl) to border guards dealing with defectors...guards were instructed that people attempting to cross the Wall were criminals and needed to be shot: "Do not hesitate to use your firearm, not even when the border is breached in the company of women and children, which is a tactic the traitors have often used".

But it makes walls sound bad, eh, Walt?

Does sound a little negative, now that I think about it.

Well, our wall will have a shitload of .50 caliber machine guns too, but they'll all be pointed at the Mexican side, not our side. So, in our case the wall is a good thing, see?

The border troops of the GDR were much more lightly equipped than comparable NVA infantry formations, with the heaviest weapon being the RPG-7 grenade launcher.

While I tend to agree with your basic position that,in seizing the Crimea, Russia's violation of the sovereign rights of the Ukraine had nothing to do coming to the rescue of ethnic Russians living in the area or a long established territorial claim, your argument in support of it is weak.

Do you contend that the Russian government in 1991 was a model of truth and morality, and/or that's its foreign policy decisions bound all future Russian governments for all time?
