On Immigration: Politicians interfere with efforts of ICE to do their job

Cuccinelli, who as a Republican state lawmaker pushed several anti-immigration positions, said ICE's efforts to remove undocumented immigrants have been "held up" and "interfered" with by the politics in Washington. He suggested that people should not be surprised about officials carrying out these operations.

"Here we are talking about ICE doing its job as if it's special, and really this should be going on a rolling basis," he said. "They're looking forward to just doing their jobs."
