Some Democrats are worried that the "abolish ICE" slogan will become as infamous a liberal slogan as "defund the police," the New York Times reported on Thursday.

Per the Times, "some Democrats worry that calls to eliminate the agency are an unwelcome distraction from more pragmatic approaches. They fear that the ‘Abolish ICE’ slogan will age as poorly as ‘Defund the Police’ did."

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., believes that pushing "Abolish ICE" rhetoric "would hurt the cause."

"Clearly ICE is an absolute problem — they’re out of control, moving way too fast," Gallego told the Times.

"The last thing we need to do, again, is to make the same mistake when it comes to ‘Defund the Police’ rhetoric. That ended up not actually helping communicate what people wanted. People want a slimmed-down ICE that is truly focused on security."

Calls to defund the police from far-left figures became more popular among Democrats in 2020, after the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman. However, the phrase did not catch on with the public and wound up hurting down-ticket Democrats in that year's election, and many leaders in the party have sought to distance themselves from the slogan that appears to critics as wokeness run amok.

"But some Democrats caution that calling for the outright elimination of ICE is a trap that will only help Republicans," the New York Times reported. 

The center-left think tank The Third Way cautions Democrats to avoid calls to abolish ICE.

"The impulse is emotional," reads their memo. "The slogan is simple. But politically, it is lethal. Every call to abolish ICE risks squandering one of the clearest opportunities in years to secure meaningful reform of immigration enforcement — while handing Republicans exactly the fight they want."

WHITE HOUSE BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR ICE VIOLENCE AS MINNEAPOLIS ERUPTS, INSURRECTION ACT THREAT LOOMS

An ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good last week during a federal enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. Federal officials have said agents were attempting to make arrests when the woman tried to use her vehicle as a weapon, prompting an ICE agent to fire in self-defense.

Top Democrats, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, criticized the federal account of the incident and rejected the claim that the officer acted in self-defense. Minnesota has since sued the Trump administration, claiming the immigration enforcement surge in the state is "unlawful" and "unprecedented."

A recent report is shining a light on popular destinations that are considered the "worst" for tourists to visit because they fall short of the hype they've received over the years.  

Analysts looked at more than 100 tourist attractions around the world — and came up with a list of the "worst" destinations that "underwhelm visitors despite their global fame," according to the report.

Stasher, a travel company specializing in luggage storage, released the findings based on Google Reviews ratings, TikTok engagement, airport accessibility, country safety and local accommodation quality.

Grabbing the "worst" label of all was the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, California.

"Located [23 miles] from the LAX airport, this sidewalk of celebrity stars had the lowest Google rating and safety score," analysts noted.

There are over 2,800 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring achievements in film, TV, music, radio and live performance, according to its website.

The stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are located on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

Trip Advisor ranks the site 3.4 out of 5 stars on its website, and also puts it at no. 64 on a "to-do list" for those visiting Los Angeles.

"The area is run down, dirty and full of shady figures," wrote one person on Trip Advisor. "Prices in restaurants and shops are completely different. Celebrities are hardly met here, but [there are] plenty of homeless people. We walked down the street once and then moved on quickly."

Another visitor said, "[The] Hollywood Walk of Fame was definitely not what I expected based on TV and movies. The whole area felt unsafe during our visit, and I wouldn’t recommend taking young children."

Another person had a different take. "OK, it’s a bit shabby, tacky and touristy, but if you’re a tourist, then why not! We loved looking at all the stars' names etc. and going in and out of the tourist shops … Done, ticked [it] off the list."

One tourist wrote, "If you’ve never been to Hollywood before, then the Walk of Fame is definitely worth seeing. Famous throughout the years, it’s an iconic piece of Hollywood."

Another visitor said, "The Hollywood Walk of Fame is simply part of a visit to Los Angeles. The many stars of famous artists are exciting to [see], and it is fun to discover familiar names."

A person wrote, "Don't expect to see the glamour of Hollywood, as it's disappointing. The image you have of the Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of stardom and glitz, but the reality is your average city center with expensive gift shops."

Other notable destinations making the report's "top 10 tourist traps that just aren't worth it" are the Dead Sea, between Israel and Jordan, and the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Great Wall of China was also among that group.
