Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., a member of the progressive "Squad," called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be abolished on Sunday, saying the agency was "racist" and "rogue."

"The actions of ICE — they are unconstitutional, unlawful, they are cruel," Pressley said on MS NOW. "They are rogue, they are racist, and they are terrorizing communities."

Pressley called the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis "horrific and unacceptable." Good was killed in a confrontation with ICE agents after federal authorities said she attempted to run over one of the officers. While the Trump administration is standing firmly behind the officer who shot Good, many Democrats are claiming the killing was unjustified.

"This harm does not discriminate. It is coming for everyone," she said. "And that is exactly why ICE must be stopped, because they’re not operating with any constitutional due diligence. They are lawless, they are masked thugs. So, whether you are a White woman, whether you are Black or Brown, certainly our most vulnerable communities are the most vulnerable to the attacks of this rogue agency, but all of our communities are vulnerable to the attacks of this rogue agency."

MS NOW host Jackie Alemany pressed Pressley on whether her long-held belief that ICE should be abolished and the Biden administration's unpopular border policy had contributed to the moment they're in now.

Pressley argued that the agency couldn't be reformed.

"This has nothing to do with training or new protocols. This is about cultural practices that have been underway for many years," Pressley responded. "I believe in doing that radical work and getting to the root cause of things. Again, Congress has the power of the purse and appropriations. We need to use it in this moment because this harm is coming for everyone."

She said Americans do not feel safer and called President Donald Trump a dictator.

"I will continue to demand an independent and thorough investigation, continue to call on Congress in this moment to use appropriations and the power of the purse to rein in ICE. Again, I believe it should be abolished. We need public hearings and accountability," she said.

The White House condemned Pressley's words.

"ICE officers are facing a massive increase in assaults against them because of dangerous, untrue smears from elected Democrats. ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities with the utmost professionalism. Anyone pointing the finger at law enforcement officers instead of the criminals are simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.

ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Protesters demonstrating against the Iranian regime swarmed a U-Haul truck that drove through their gathering in Los Angeles on Sunday, smashing its windshield and attacking the suspected driver with flag poles until police arrived to take the man into custody.

Video footage shows the crowd of people running toward the truck and surrounding it as people can be heard chanting at the individual behind the wheel.

One member of the crowd climbed onto the truck and stomped on its windshield. Others took flagpoles bearing the Iranian flag and stuck them through an open passenger-side window, appearing to jab the suspect.

A person was also seen tearing down a banner on the side of the truck that read, in all capital letters, "NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH."

As the driver tried to exit the truck through the driver-side door, the crowd could be seen pushing the door closed. Police eventually made their way through the swarm of people and took the man inside the truck into custody.

The incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. Sunday along Veteran Avenue near the Federal Building in the Westwood neighborhood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).

Police said the adult male driver has been detained pending further investigation.

"At this time, one person was confirmed struck by the vehicle (an adult male); however, no significant injuries have been reported," LAPD said. "A Rescue Ambulance treated the individual at the scene.  No one has been transported to the hospital for medical treatment."

Videos circulating on social media appeared to show a U-Haul truck moving quickly through a dense crowd as people screamed. In one video, a person appeared to hang onto the side of the vehicle and bang on a window as it continued moving.

Law enforcement has not yet released the driver's identity or said what charges he may face.

The Iranian American Republican Council (IARC) released a statement condemning the incident as a "terrorist attack."

"We strongly condemn this violent act and call on the appropriate authorities of the United States to conduct a full and transparent investigation and to hold those responsible fully accountable under the law," the statement read, in part.

The protest comes amid ongoing unrest in Iran, where demonstrations that began over economic grievances have spread nationwide, evolving into a direct challenge to Iran's clerical leadership.

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reports 583 people have been killed in Iran since the unrest erupted two weeks ago.
