Evidence (2020-12-08): COVID-19 restrictions on people movements have had a profound effect on our international education and tourism sectors. Travel services have made up almost two-thirds of Australia’s services exports in recent years. Our international education sector is worth over $40 billion per annum to the economy and supports 250,000 Australian jobs. The tourism industry alone has seen business closures, job losses and estimated revenue losses of $10 billion per month. [...] The international tourism sector has been effectively shut-down by the closure of international borders to non-residents. International tourism contributed $38 billion to the national economy in 2018-19, accounting for 26 per cent of the tourism sector by dollar value. The tourism industry is important as a key employer, particularly in regional areas, and pre-COVID-19 employed 5.2 per cent of the Australian labour force. The international education sector is similarly affected by international border closures. While international students already in Australia have been able to continue studies, tertiary institutions have been unable to enrol new onshore international students. In 2018-19, international education generated $38 billion in services exports, of which $25 billion was in the university sector.

Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2024-07-24): As a U.S. senator in 2018, Kamala Harris criticized the Trump administration’s immigration policies, including a policy that led to family separations at the border. In that context, Harris said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s function should be reexamined and that "we need to probably even think about starting from scratch." But Harris didn’t say there shouldn’t be immigration enforcement. In 2018, Harris also said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had a role and should exist.

Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2018-07-03): "Abolish ICE" sounds simple and straightforward. It's short enough to fit on a bumper sticker — as does "Build the Wall," or "Abolish the IRS." It symbolizes Democrats' opposition to Trump's immigration policies, particularly the separation of children and parents at the border. It's a shorthand way to remind lawmakers and the public that Democrats don't like how the president has demonized immigrants — whether they entered the U.S. legally or not. It also expresses the fear and outrage among immigrant communities who feel that ICE is terrorizing their neighborhoods. [...] Many Democrats think that turning the debate away from Trump's immigration policies and back to a fight over which party is stronger on border security is a loser for Democrats. It's why so many Democratic lawmakers refuse to jump on the "Abolish ICE" bandwagon. Even Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dodged the question, saying only that he wanted to "create policies that deal with immigration in a rational way." Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth said abolishing ICE wouldn't accomplish anything, since even without the agency, Trump would still be setting immigration policy. Although Warren and Gillibrand sided with the "Abolish ICE" push, California Sen. Kamala Harris, another possible 2020 contender, did not. Harris said she wanted to "critically re-examine ICE and its role." Many Democratic strategists were asking why — just when the Democrats were winning the immigration debate — they should adopt a slogan that could backfire on them going into the midterm elections.

[...] The Trump and Harris campaigns responded to our query about Trump’s rally claim with multiple citations of Harris statements; we found many more through our own research. There is no record of Harris saying she would "abolish ICE," a specific phrase that others like Ocasio-Cortez have used. And in 2019, when asked point-blank if she supports abolishing the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Harris said no.

Evidence (2024-07-25): A former U.S. senator from California who unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, Harris seemingly overnight became the Democratic Party’s last chance to stop Trump from regaining the White House. [...] Harris needs 1,968 delegates to win the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month, and the Associated Press reported that she has the support of more than 3,000 delegates.

Prominent figures such as Mark Meadows, who was Trump’s chief of staff, and Stephen Miller, a top aide who was involved in setting major immigration policy, are associated with conservative groups that advised the project.

Evidence (2018-07-03): Trump has stepped up his claims about Democrats supporting open borders as several prominent Democrats have announced support for abolishing ICE. [...] Despite Trump’s claim that Democratic "‘leadership’ wants to denounce and abandon the great men and women of ICE" — as he put it in a July 2 tweet — the number of Democrats in Congress calling for the abolishment of ICE is relatively small. Only one member of the Senate or House Democratic leadership — Warren — is among them. [...] Sean McElwee, a political data expert whom the San Francisco Chronicle credits with creating the #AbolishICE hashtag in February 2017, provided us with his running list of government officials who support abolishing ICE. Although growing, the list includes five incumbent members of the House: Pramila Jayapal, Jim McGovern, Earl Blumenauer, Nydia Velazquez and Pocan. And from the Senate, just Warren and Gillibrand. According to the Hill, Sen. Bernie Sanders has called for ICE to be examined, but not fully abolished.

Evidence (2018-07-02): The White House tweeted at Harris, writing, ".@SenKamalaHarris, why are you supporting the animals of MS-13?

[...] Kamala Harris of California "I think there’s no question that we’ve got to critically re-examine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing," she told MSNBC. "And we need to probably think about starting from scratch." Clarification: This story was updated to remove Sen. Kamala Harris from the list of Democrats calling for abolishing ICE and add her stance in a separate category of those calling for changes to the agency. Harris said the agency should be reexamined.

Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2018-08-27): WASHINGTON — The rallying cry from some liberals to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement isn’t a likely winner this election year, as a new poll finds only a quarter of Democrats support eliminating the agency that carried out the Trump administration’s policy of separating immigrant children from their parents. But even as they don’t want to fully dismantle ICE, 57 percent of Democrats view the agency negatively, including nearly three-fourths of those who describe themselves as liberal, according to a poll released Monday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The findings demonstrate tension among Democrats about how to address the crisis at the border that intensified in June when the Trump administration instituted a family separation policy to deter illegal immigration. Some potential Democratic presidential contenders, such as Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, backed getting rid of ICE in response to the separations. Others, including Sen. Kamala Harris of California, urged a rethinking of the agency, but stopped short of calling for its abolition. President Donald Trump has seized on the Democratic criticism of ICE to paint the party as weak on immigration and national security.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2018-06-25): "I think there's no question that we've got to critically reexamine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing," Harris told MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt. "And we need to probably think about starting from scratch." Harris’ remarks, though not as definitive as the progressive candidates who are advocating for abolishing ICE entirely, are significant given her high-profile position in the party. [...] As a sign of the potential this cause has for picking up more support, mere hours after Harris’ reported remarks, another sitting member of Congress said ICE should be abolished.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2018-07-11): "Just when you thought the Democrats couldn’t move farther to the left, leading members of the Democratic Party—including candidates for higher office—are actually openly advocating the abolition of ICE, an agency that protects the American people and our communities every single day," Vice President Mike Pence said during a visit to the ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C., last week." The official White House Twitter account came after Harris for "supporting the animals of MS-13" after she suggested reexamining ICE. And at a recent campaign rally in Great Falls, Montana, Trump told rally-goers that "a vote for the Democrats in November is a vote to let MS-13 run wild in our community … We will not stand for these vile Democrat smears against our law enforcement."

Evidence (2018-07-30): As the debate over family separation and reunification at the border continues, some are calling for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Here’s what you need to know about the movement. [...] - Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) has called for a "complete overhaul" but not abolition. [...] While Trump has tweeted that Abolish ICE supporters favor open borders, no high-profile backer has called for that.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2024-07-28): On the eve of the House vote, I spoke with the person whose job came the closest to the one that Stefanik and others have misattributed to Harris: Roberta Jacobson, a former Ambassador to Mexico who, for the first three months of Biden’s term, served as the coördinator for the southwest border at the National Security Council. "My purpose was to reëstablish the interagency mechanism for making decisions about the southwest border and immigration," she told me. Part of what makes the border so difficult to control is that the task combines domestic and foreign policy, which involve different branches of the federal bureaucracy. Jacobson’s remit was to serve as a point person for the President, convening regular meetings with officials at the Departments of Homeland Security, State, Health and Human Services, and Defense, then reporting them up the chain at the White House. "The process for making decisions didn’t exist when we came in," she said. "It was calls with Stephen Miller in which he yelled at the career officials, and they went off to do what he said, or to try."
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2018-07-03): California Sen. Kamala Harris was one of the first prominent Democrats to come out against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, but she is distancing herself from the growing chorus of progressives who have called for "abolishing" ICE. [...] Harris’s office did not explain how completely overhauling ICE would differ from what Democrats who want to abolish the agency have proposed. Politicians, including Gillibrand and Warren, have generally suggested a reimagining of the agency, rather than an outright elimination of it without a replacement. Harris’s spokesperson said that "others have gone a step further in calling for abolishing ICE." [...] Democrats have yet to outline in detail what abolishing the massive federal agency might look like. Harris’s office pointed to a series of reforms she had proposed as part of her oversight of the agency, including cutting its funding and stopping the expansion of ICE facilities. At least two House Democrats who support abolishing the agency are working on legislation that would "redesign and restructure" ICE.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2024-07-26): Over the course of 2019 – in debates and interviews - Ms Harris endorsed scrapping private health insurance for a government-run system. She praised policing reform, including redirecting law-enforcement budgets to other priorities. She endorsed decriminalising undocumented entry into the US and entertained abolishing Ice, the immigration and customs enforcement agency. She backed the sweeping Green New Deal environmental legislation and supported a ban on fracking and off-shore drilling. [...] Republicans are already trying to hang the immigration issue around her neck, labelling her as the administration’s "border czar" – an inaccurate but damaging characterisation that was also used by the media. They cite her past statements on immigration and a claim, during an interview in 2022, that the "border is secure". [...] Craig Varoga, a Democratic campaign consultant and adjunct instructor at American University, calls the vice-president’s law-enforcement background her "superpower" – one that she was not fully able to use on the Democratic campaign trail in 2019, when policing reform was a top issue.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2018-06-25): Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Congress should reconsider the nation’s immigration enforcement system and possibly "start from scratch" by eliminating the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. [...] Harris’ remarks came in response to a question from host Kasie Hunt about whether she supports abolishing ICE. Progressive activists have pushed Democratic lawmakers to support abolishing ICE, the government’s chief immigration enforcement arm that was established in 2002 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in response to President Donald Trump’s push to reduce the numbers of immigrants coming to the U.S. from Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2024-08-07): - Vance said Harris "supported abolishing ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]." Back in 2018, Harris said elected leaders should "critically reexamine ICE and its role," but she did not call for abolishing the agency and all its functions. [...] In his speech in Virginia, Vance distorted the facts in claiming that Harris "supported abolishing ICE." He’s referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security agency charged with "enforcing immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety." [...] So Harris called for reexamining the way ICE was functioning under the Trump administration, and she talked about the possibility of "starting from scratch." But she never called for abolishing the agency and its functions altogether.
Claim: Kamala Harris “supported abolishing ICE.” (Donald Trump, 2024-07-24)
Evidence (2024-07-29): In the middle of the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up deportations of criminal illegal aliens in 2019, then-Senator Kamala Harris introduced a bill that would have taken $220 million out of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is responsible for arrests and deportations of illegal aliens. The goal of the bill (S.388 in the 116th Congress) was to frustrate ICE’s public safety mission and allow for criminal aliens to remain in the United States. [...] Additionally, Harris’s bill would have created an advisory committee to "advise the Office of Refugee Resettlement on matters regarding shelters and placements for unaccompanied alien children relating to education, immigration law, physical and mental health, trauma-informed social work services, youth shelter management, and immigration detention reform." The advisory committee would have been made up of people "employed by a nonprofit entities" who had a background in immigration law, cultural competency, and "immigration detention reform", for example. Again, these are more anti-border, anti-ICE activists who would be authorized to "conduct unannounced inspections of all shelters" and consult with other groups including, specifically, the American Medical Association (which supports increases in cheap, foreign labor, DACA, and welfare benefits for illegal aliens) and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (which seeks to "phase out the use of immigration detention for immigration enforcement purposes.").
