AOC is US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) - May 8, 2026. Here’s the full 5-minutes on YouTube: We need to Abolish ICE. | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (YouTube)

From the description: We need to abolish ICE. What does it cost our humanity to look the other way when women, children, and young men of promise are ripped off the street and disappeared? What does it cost us as a society to normalize looking the other way to such barbarism?

What is it costing us — as Human Beings and as a Society — to look the other way, when Women, and Children, and innocent People, and young Men of promise, are ripped off the street, and thrown into a van, and disappeared, and you never see them again?

There's what that costs them. But think about what it costs you, to look the other way.

What does it cost us, as a Society that starts to normalize looking the other way?

Then we start looking the other way, as Women bleed-out in parking lots in States that have banned abortion.

We start looking the other way, as VRA Districts start to get stripped out of our Congress.

We start looking the other way, as the Free Press becomes consumed and intimidated by the very Powers that they exist to check.

What does it cost us — and you, as a Human Being — to look the other way?

And so, there's the economic cost. Your healthcare is going up. Long-term care for our Parents and Grandparents are gonna skyrocket. It's gonna cost us. It's already costing us.

And then there’s, what does it cost our Soul? And that, you know, in a political context, People think that that's naive flowery talk. I don't think it is. Because what is all of this for, if it is not to live a dignified Life, in a Community and Country of integrity?

I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

It's a good quote, but I disagree. I think nine more terrifying words are actually: “I worked all day and can't feed my Family.”

We are going to use the power of government to lower prices, and make it easier for New Yorkers to put Food on the table.

When government understands its purpose — as serving the very Working People that it has left behind, time and again — it can make a difference in the most pressing struggles facing our City today.

It's not just that government can help. It’s that government must help. And our government will help.
