Ben & Jerry’s co-founder advocates for ICE to be disbanded

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen has called for the defunding and disbanding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following two fatal shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis, including the deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. Cohen initially intended to create an ice cream in honor of Good but was disheartened by Pretti’s death, which he viewed as indicative of a pattern of violence. He criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of dissenters, urging a return to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for more humane immigration management. Cohen also condemned Republicans for their contradictory support of Christian values while targeting immigrants.
