Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay praised President Donald Trump for calling out Democrats for not supporting immigration enforcement authorities, saying it was a smart tactic ahead of the midterms.
"At least you're gonna make every Democrat give a statement on whether they believe in abolishing ICE or not," DeLay said during an appearance on Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Now." "It's a great political move for the midterms."

Earlier Monday, Trump spoke at a White House event honoring members of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. He praised law enforcement's efforts and slammed Democrats for things such as sanctuary cities and protesting in front of ICE offices.
DeLay said the whole movement is hypocritical.
"This is just an extension of anti-law enforcement, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, all these people," said Delay before calling some of the ICE protesters hypocrites.
