On Immigration: Abolish ICE at "Abolish Ice Cream Social"

De Le¢n's campaign has focused on the party's energized liberal faction. He supports single-payer healthcare, aggressive goals for renewable energy and helped lead the successful effort to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour. He has criticized Feinstein, known for having moderate tendencies, for being too conciliatory toward Trump, such as when she urged people to have "patience" with the president last year.

On Friday night [at the Democratic State Convention which endorsed De Leon over his opponent Dianne Feinstein], De Le¢n hosted an "ABOLISH ICE CREAM SOCIAL" for delegates, a nod toward the Democratic-led effort to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency after its agents separated thousands of children from their parents after they crossed the border.
