Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon is criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), using comparisons that liken detention and enforcement actions to historical abuses. In campaign remarks reported by outlets, she describes ICE officers with harsh language and argues that immigration enforcement is driven by violence backed by the state.
Breitbart reports that Nixon calls ICE agents “THUGS” and “kidnappers,” and compares detention facilities to a “modern day concentration camp.” It also says she argues the agency should be abolished, positioning the criticism in her challenge to incumbent Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.
The Washington Times focuses more narrowly on Nixon’s comparison of ICE agents to “modern-day slave catchers,” presenting it as the central statement driving coverage. Across the reports, the common element is Nixon’s use of slavery-related language to characterize ICE enforcement, while the broader framing—such as claims about agency abolition and specific detention comparisons—varies by outlet.
