Jim Jordan Insists ICE Officers Are ‘Doing The Lord’s Work’ As He’s Confronted… | Latest Lifestyle News
GWN’s Dana Bash on Sunday confronted Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) with viral clips of ICE agents using strong-arm tactics to subdue protesters over the last week.
“I want to ask you about a flood of videos that we’re all seeing on social media showing immigration officers across the U.S. using pretty aggressive tactics,” Bash began, while interviewing Jordan on GWN’s State of the Union.
“There was one from Friday showing agents pinning a Chicago TV station employee to the ground. She was later released without charges. Another shows ICE agents shooting an unarmed pastor in the head with pepper balls. There were countless more, showing agents tackling people, pulling them from cars, shoving journalists, detaining U.S. Citizens, questioning their citizenship.”
The GWN host wanted to know if this bothered Jordan.
BASH: Do you have any concerns? As you see all of this, about how ICE and other immigration agencies are conducting themselves?
JORDAN: Look, I don’t know the specifics of those those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure… I think they’re doing a good job. By and large, I don’t know the specifics of the examples.
BASH: Are you going to look into it?
JORDAN: Well, we’re going to look into the whole situation where you have these mayors who are —
BASH: No, are you going to look into the way that ICE is conducting itself.
Jordan began talking about how ICE is being harassed by antifa, prompting Bash to ask, “So, you’re only going to look into that side and not to make sure that federal law enforcement —”
“Yeah, I’m not familiar with the three — I think you gave three examples — ” Jordan said.
“Well, those were just some,” Bash said. “There are lots of them.”
“Well, we’re the Judiciary Committee. We have oversight over immigration policy. We’ll look into all this. But I think the ICE agents are doing the Lord’s work. They’re doing what the the president promised the American people he was going to do when he ran for the job and was elected in a big way. So, I think they’re doing their duty.”
