San Antonio Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro says calls by some of his fellow Democrats to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) and impeach Pres. Trump go to far.
Calls to abolish the agency completely have grown in national Democratic circles this summer as families and children poured across the U.S. border.
In a National Public Radio podcast interview, Joaquin Castro, brother of possible 2020 presidential contender Julian Castro, said his own solution would include beefed up support for people seeking asylum. He’s been an outspoken proponent of finding a legislative solution to keep people in the country who were brought in illegally as children.
Unlike other Democrats, including US Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke, Castro says he does not support impeaching Pres. Trump at this time, instead saying he’s waiting for special counsel Robert Mueller to disclose results of an investigation before making that call.
