During a New York Democrat gubernatorial primary debate between Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon, the governor of New York referred to Immigration & Customs Enforcement officers this way:

Former acting ICE Director Thomas Homan ripped Cuomo to shreds over that comment:

Maybe it shouldn’t be too surprising, considering Cuomo also recently said America was “never that great,” followed by efforts to backpedal on the very telling comment.
Seems to me a sitting governor calling ICE a "bunch of thugs" is newsworthy.
Media silence is deafening.https://t.co/EkXts653UC
