Florida Democratic politician Angie Nixon makes broad claims that the Republican Party is “literally trying to kill” Black Americans, according to reports from New York Post and Fox News. She raises the allegation in connection with her views on national politics and cooperation across party lines.
Fox News reports that her remarks are disputed by the Department of Homeland Security. The outlet says DHS rejected Nixon’s related assertion that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operates as a “weaponized paramilitary force” intended to terrorize minority groups. The report frames the department’s response as a denial of Nixon’s characterization of ICE. New York Post likewise highlights her statement, focusing on the context of her argument for sending political “fighters” to Washington rather than on DHS’s specific rebuttal.
Taken together, the sources describe Nixon’s allegations, while diverging in emphasis: one highlights her rhetoric and its political messaging, and the other centers on DHS’s rejection of a related claim about federal immigration enforcement.
