Today, Raja for Illinois released its latest television ad, “Moral.” In the new spot, Raja, an immigrant himself, unpacks the harm Donald Trump’s ICE has done to communities across Illinois and the country, and outlines our only choice: fighting back.
“Donald Trump has weaponized ICE against our cities and our people. Torn apart families…terrorized neighborhoods. We should abolish Trump’s ICE. We can’t have a government or ICE running out of control. It’s morally wrong, and it’s unlawful,” Raja says in the ad. “We can either roll over, or we can fight. I say we fight…Fight in the courts, in the halls of Congress. We are in the fight of our lives.”
[RAJA] Donald Trump has weaponized ICE against our cities and our people.
Torn apart families…terrorized neighborhoods.
We should abolish Trump’s ICE.
We can’t have a government or ICE running out of control.
It’s morally wrong, and it’s unlawful.
We can either roll over, or we can fight.
I say we fight…Fight in the courts, in the halls of Congress.
We are in the fight of our lives.
I’m Raja Krishnamoorthi and I approve this message.
Last week, you may recall, the US Senate candidate said this on CNN…
Reporter: Do you want to abolish ICE?
Raja: [Pause] I want to abolish the funding and Trump’s ICE. I think that in theory there should be immigration and customs enforcement, but not the way that it’s happening now. This is completely unacceptable what’s happening right now.

Who would have figured the guy that was so slow to return campaign funds would be this quick to clarify his position on ICE.
