Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The letter notes that Caldas conveyed support for sanctuary cities by discouraging New York City from cooperating with ICE in a May 2019 Twitter post, according to a screenshot from her Twitter account, which Caldas appears to have recently deactivated.
56% : By definition, ICE is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security.
51% : During the wait time, the federal government often grants the migrant authorization to live and work in the United States, despite the legal argument -- currently awaiting a Supreme Court review -- that migrants claiming asylum must be detained until their case has reached a final conclusion.
43% : These proceedings, which happen within an increasingly overwhelmed immigration court system, frequently involve hearing cases for illegal migrants who have claimed asylum.
38% : Caldas, per a Twitter screenshot, explicitly agreed in 2020 with the statement that some immigration enforcement is "pointless."
36% :Appointing a judge who has encouraged jurisdictions to not comply with a federal law enforcement agency is a disgrace.
34% : Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and 35 of her Republican colleagues are calling on President Joe Biden to remove a newly-appointed immigration judge after the judge expressed hostility toward immigration law enforcement, Breitbart News has learned.
31% : Jon Feere, a former Department of Homeland Security official within ICE, shared other examples, which are also noted in Stefanik's letter, that demonstrate Caldas's disapproval of ICE and her open borders stance.
26% : In a local NY1 television appearance in 2019, Caldas described ICE as an "arbitrary deportation force" whose agents were "just guys who are walking around with guns calling themselves law enforcement."
24% : The study also observed that under Biden, who has an open borders posture that has contributed to record-breaking numbers of illegal migrant encounters at the southern border, pending immigration cases have reached their largest number on record and are "accelerating at a breakneck pace."
12% : "Your administration has appointed at least one IJ [immigration judge] who has consistently and publicly expressed contempt for immigration enforcement," Stefanik and her fellow Republicans wrote, adding that Caldas has shown "complete disregard for the role" of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
