Flanagan made the comments during an appearance on MSNOW’s “The Weekend” on Saturday.
The far-left politician, who is also a candidate in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, stated in the interview, “We need folks who are willing to rip ICE apart.”
“Everybody who can in these positions…should be taking advantage and prosecuting as many of these folks as possible,” Flanagan continued.
Minnesota Democrat Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan says Democrats need to “rip ICE apart.”

This is not the first time Flanagan has used the phrase “rip ICE apart.”
In February, following the death of a Minnesota woman who was interfering with an ICE operation, Flanagan declared, “We need ICE OUT of Minnesota. They need to repair and restore what they have broken. Then we need to rip ICE apart.”
