The White House went on the offensive Monday, attacking Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) via its official government Twitter account for supporting “criminals” and the “animals of MS-13.”
.@SenWarren, why are you supporting criminals moving weapons, drugs, and victims across our nation’s borders? You must not know what ICE really does. Here is a link to help you out: https://t.co/5CiTKkIs4c

Harris fired back.
As a career prosecutor, I actually went after gangs and transnational criminal organizations. That’s being a leader on public safety. What is not, is ripping babies from their mothers. pic.twitter.com/WyyHU3U7jE

Warren did not reply on Twitter, though she participated in a “Families Belong Together” rally last weekend, saying: “The president’s deeply immoral actions have made it obvious we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom, starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality and that works,” per Politico.
