An increasing number of Democrats, including the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, are moving to embrace the reinvigorated Occupy movement that is advocating the abolition of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), reflecting the party’s strategy to energize and expand its growing progressive base.
Occupy ICE is primarily made up of anarchists, socialists, communists, and representatives of Antifa. Meanwhile, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is playing a prominent role in the Democrats’ pro-Occupy strategy.
