Michigan Democrat Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is once again embracing the far-left fringe, this time by demanding the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and blaming white people and Islamophobia for his college sports experience.
During a debate hosted by the Council of Baptist Pastors leaders in Detroit, El-Sayed insisted that Democrats must stand up to the SAVE America Act and push to dismantle ICE, according to Gateway Pundit. He told the audience, We think about ICE as immigration because thats what they told us ICE was about. Lets be clear. ICE is not about immigration. That has nothing to do with the southern border, casting the federal agency not as a law-enforcement body but as a political weapon.
El-Sayed went further, alleging that ICE is really about normalizing putting thugs on our streets to intimidate us from voting. Thats what its all about. He then doubled down on the radical demand popularized by the far-left during the height of the open-borders movement, declaring, Weve got to abolish ICE.
In a separate appearance with far-left streamer Hasan Piker, El-Sayed shifted from attacking federal law enforcement to identity politics, claiming that traveling for lacrosse games in college was tough because of alleged anti-Muslim bias from white people. Piker asserted that white people were the most Islamophobic, a statement El-Sayed agreed with, reinforcing a narrative that casts ordinary Americans as bigots rather than engaging with legitimate security and cultural concerns.
Now 40, El-Sayed is a physician, a former director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and a committed progressive activist. After an unsuccessful 2018 bid for governor, he has continued to champion expansive immigration, government-run health care, and divisive identity politics, positioning himself as a leading contender for Michigans open U.S. Senate seat in 2026a prospect that should concern voters who value secure borders, equal treatment under the law, and a government that enforces, rather than dismantles, the nations immigration system.
