Kamala Harris states on a 2019 American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) candidate questionnaire that she supports taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants held in detainment facilities and other federal prisoners. In addition, the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee said she supports radical cuts to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding as well as severely restricting the agency’s ability to operate and detain illegal immigrants.
“Our immigrant detention system is out of control, and I believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families and children,” Harris wrote responding to the questionnaire. She added: “I was one of the first Senators after President Trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to ICE.”
On the campaign trail, Harris has attempted to dodge her prior radical positions, claiming she’s evolved but offering no further explanation. Among the other far-left policies endorsed by Harris in the ALCU questionnaire include support for the federal decriminalization of drugs. Oregon recently reversed its drug decriminalization law after the policy wreaked havoc on the state. Additionally, Harris signed on to the organization’s broad pledge, committing candidates to end the detention of illegal immigrants.
Despite claiming to have ‘evolved’ politically since the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Harris stressed during her only interview since becoming the party’s 2024 nominee that her “values have not changed.” Kamal Harris’s tenure in the U.S. Senate and her ‘over-before-it-began’ 2020 primary campaign is rife with moments where the California Democrat has peddled left-wing talking points to gain favor with progressive voters.
The National Pulse previously reported that Harris likened ICE to the KKK during the 2018 Senate hearing. Meanwhile, during the 2020 primary, Harris called former President Donald J. Trump’s border wall a “vanity project.”
