  • During the Brown & Black Democratic Presidential Forum, hosted by Vice News in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 23, 2020, candidate and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was asked about what reforms he would bring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In the course of his answer, Biden said he would change policy so that children of undocumented people don't live in fear and uncertainty of their parents being deported. As one example, he said he did not consider drunk driving as a felony that justified an ICE agent arresting someone. Those remarks are recorded in the following video, beginning at the 3:04:55 mark: The moment was highlighted in a headline published by the conservative Capitol-oriented news outlet Washington Examiner. As the Examiner noted, driving under the influence (DUI) can constitute a felony, depending on the state where the offense occurred and the severity of the incident. The Trump administration has come under fire for its immigration rhetoric and policy. In 2018, roughly half of the 158,000 people administratively arrested by ICE had DUI charges or convictions. (en)
