Lawlessness First: Darren Soto Backs Abolish-ICE Caucus

January 14, 2026

Darren Soto and his very own Congressional Progressive Caucus have made the Democrats’ agenda crystal clear: defund ICE, weaken Customs and Border Patrol, and leave the border wide open. Just today, they threatened to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security unless border enforcement is stripped out.

Soto is siding with chaos, lawlessness, and violent criminal illegal aliens over the safety of Floridians.

“Out of touch Democrats like Darren Soto are committed to abolishing ICE, openly endorsing lawlessness and putting Florida communities at risk to satisfy their radical base. Faced with a choice, Darren Soto didn’t hesitate, he chose radical ideology over public safety.” – NRCC Spokesman Maureen O’Toole
