David Hogg has been elected as the new Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He previously called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a 2020 tweet, which has gained attention amid ongoing immigration debates. ICE has expanded its enforcement powers under the current administration, leading to increased arrests of suspected illegal migrants. Critics argue that these actions create fear in communities and may violate constitutional rights. Hogg's appointment comes as the DNC seeks to address perceived weaknesses in immigration policy following poor performance in the 2024 elections. The DNC also elected Ken Martin as its new chairperson.
