Socialist bigwig blasts the wealthy while living in $1.4M Brooklyn brownstone with eyebrow-raising backstory
The co-chair of New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America has railed against the wealthy and championed the working class — while living in a roughly $1.4 million Brooklyn home purchased and renovated by his parents.
Property records show that a family LLC purchased the Bed-Stuy home in 2019. Gordillo’s father, a Peruvian immigrant and successful businessman, told the New York Post that he renovated the property and allows his two sons, including the DSA co-chair, to live there.
The arrangement has drawn scrutiny because Gordillo has become a prominent voice in New York City’s democratic socialist movement while criticizing wealth, high investment returns and the affordability pressures facing working-class residents. Critics say his living arrangement — in a valuable Brooklyn property purchased and renovated by his family — undercuts that message and highlights the contrast between his political rhetoric and the financial advantages provided by his family.
"Nothing says working class like a $1.4M townhouse your daddy bought you," New York City Councilwoman Joann Ariola wrote on X.
Gordillo, a Yale graduate with an art degree, lists his occupation as a "union electrician" on social media.
Gordillo attracted controversy in July when he told Fox News that the DSA doesn’t "think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment." His father’s business success helped provide the family with the means to purchase and renovate the Brooklyn property in an increasingly expensive New York City
FRUSTRATED BLUE-COLLAR UNION BOSSES RIP SOCIALIST POLITICIANS, WARN OF LABOR EXODUS FROM DEM PARTY
"I am shocked, just shocked that the co-chair of the NY Socialist party lives like a king in [the] $1 million+ home his parents bought for him in cool Bed-Stuy," former New York State Senate candidate Maria Danzillo wrote. "Who would have ever guessed that a [New York City DSA] gentrifier doesn’t have to worry about paying rent or any of the other mundane problems actual working class people have to contend with?"
In February, Gordillo complained that "millionaires don't actually leave New York the way other income groups do," arguing that it was unfair that lower income people and minorities were being priced out of the city.

"Not only did DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo's parents buy him this rowhouse, they converted it from a two family and renovated it into a luxury single-family home for him," New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino said on X. "Exactly the kind of 'greed' the DSA rails against on a daily basis, and reducing valuable housing inventory by one more unit, which is supposedly something the DSA cares very deeply about."
Gordillo and his father did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
"In Dostoevsky’s novel ‘The Possessed,’ it was the sons of rich boomers who were the most in love with socialism. Not the poor. The more things change, the more things stay the same," Manhattan Institute senior fellow Rob Henderson wrote on X.
Gordillo acknowledged his wealthy upbringing in an August interview with the New York Times, squaring the apparent gap between his affluence and ideology by arguing that the democratic socialist project seeks to "build a world" where his parent’s success story is "not exceptional."
NHL announces plans for 'Hometown Remix' program with new sweaters for all 32 franchises
Is there anything quite like the MLB's City Connect jerseys or the NBA's City Edition jerseys to completely confuse the hell out of you when you turn on the game?
Nothing makes you think you're hallucinating quite like seeing the Red Sox in yellow or the Mets in purple.
But it's a cool way to pay homage to each team's city, and the NHL is getting in on this with the official announcement of their Hometown Remix program in partnership with league jersey supplier Fanatics.
NEW YORK ISLANDERS PICK THEIR TOP 8 FAN-DESIGNED JERSEYS AND SOCIAL MEDIA HATES THEM ALL
According to the league, Hometown Remix will be Fanatics' first crack at a league-wide jersey program since becoming the official supplier in 2024. The NHL's previous jersey partner, Adidas, produced two editions of the Reverse Retro program — reimagined jerseys from a team's history or their city's broader hockey history — which were well received.
The program will also include merchandise featuring the colors and logos of each team's hometown remix, and over the last few months, it's been reported that some teams will have very different looks.
The website Icethetics has released an entire graphic with the colors teams are expected to use, and yes, it looks like a pink Panthers (cue the iconic Mancini theme) jersey might finally be coming.
There are going to be some absolute classics in this bunch if all of these colors are on the money, but there will also be some that are just hard to accept.
A green Blackhawks jersey? It makes me think of an old-school UND hockey jersey.
But while the program and some of the details have been swirling for a while, it wasn't clear when the unveiling would come.
If you were hoping to see them in the next few weeks (like I was), too bad. The league says more info will come shortly after the 2026-27 season begins.
On the plus side, the NHL season starts earlier this year thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement implementing an 84-game schedule.
Gage Jump's strong road ERA and Seth Lugo's five straight home quality starts point to under 9 in Kansas City
We are just about three weeks from the official start of the NFL season, and I'm super excited for the opportunity to bet on some pigskin. Before we get to that point, we have about five weeks left of the baseball season. Then the NFL will be in full swing, and the MLB will be looking at the playoffs. In addition, we will get the start of basketball. What a great time! Before we get there, though, we want to get some money in the bank, and we will do that with a game between the Athletics and Royals.
The Athletics are one of the worst teams in baseball, which is a bit frustrating because they made some good progress last year. This season, they are almost 30 games under .500 and have a chance to be the worst team in baseball. I'm not sure there is one single thing you can point at as a reason for the failures. Perhaps it is due to injuries - Nick Kurtz and Shane Langeliers have played fewer than 100 games. Maybe it is that their pitching staff has one of the worst ERAs in the game at 5.47 and a 1.50 WHIP.
Today, the Athletics send out Gage Jump to the hill in hopes of maybe lowering that team ERA. Jump is 5-7 for the season with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP, so not much better than the overall team marks. Jump is still young, just 23 years old, so this is mostly a development year for him. He has shown strong performances on the road with a 2.60 road ERA. He has made six road starts this season and has allowed just 10 earned runs on the road, with six of them coming in one game.
The Kansas City Royals don't have much room to talk, and arguably have been the more disappointing team this season. They are 21 games under .500 this season, but they were expected to win the AL Central division. Even if they weren't going to win it, they were expected to at least be competitive. They have been playing good baseball lately, winning four of the past five games. Offensively, they aren't much different than the Athletics, but the pitching has been slightly better.

Tonight, the Royals send out Seth Lugo to the hill. Lugo is 5-7 for the season with a 4.59 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. These aren't the strong numbers that he has put up the past few years. However, he is pitching in the best spot for him. He has a 3.70 home ERA for the year, and he has been better in night games than day games. Lugo hasn't been great lately, but his home starts have stood out. He has five straight quality starts at home. Athletics hitters are batting .273 against him over 22 at-bats.
The Royals are probably going to win this game, just based on how hot they've been lately. The Athletics are also very bad on the road. They are bad overall, but couple that with the Royals being .500 at home, it helps make a case for Kansas City. I'm going to back the under 9 instead, though. Jump has been very good on the road, and Lugo has been very reliable at home lately. Give me the under 9 for tonight.

‘Stripper’ Venmo ‘scandal’ makes Dems the punchline as Trump candidate flips script on viral DNC post
Conservatives mocked criticism of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s son-in-law, Republican congressional candidate Michael Alfonso, over old Venmo payments with suggestive captions, arguing the notes were being taken too literally as Alfonso called the criticism "wildly dishonest" and turned it into a fundraising pitch.
A post from the DNC’s social media account, FactPost, went viral this week after highlighting Venmo payments Alfonso made with notes reading "The strippers" and "High supplies." Alfonso responded by sharing screenshots of the payments and saying the captions were jokes.
"It’s wildly dishonest to leave out the part where the ‘strippers’ were $5 because—brace yourself—they obviously weren’t actual strippers. You can write literally anything in a Venmo note. This is called a joke—something the humorless left is incapable of comprehending," he wrote.
TRUMP-BACKED MICHAEL ALFONSO WINS CROWDED GOP PRIMARY FOR HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S FORMER WISCONSIN SEAT
"Patriots: I would be very grateful for $5 or any amount you can contribute to my campaign. None of the proceeds go to strippers or high supplies—only toward defeating the radical left in November," he wrote.
The exchange sparked a broader discussion about Venmo payment captions and the joking or unserious descriptions users may attach to payments, with conservatives arguing that Alfonso’s critics were reading too much into the notes.
"I have no idea if there is anything here. I do know that literally not one of my male friends has ever—ever—sent me a Venmo payment with a description that wasn't a joke," said National Review editor Charles C.W. Cooke.
"People thinking the Venmo comment line is an actual audit trail," wrote Wisconsin State Representative Calvin Callahan.
YOUNG CONSERVATIVES REVEAL WHAT’S TOP OF MIND AS GOP, DEMOCRATS BATTLE FOR 'HOPELESS' GEN Z VOTERS
"Yeah, because people who pay strippers totally put that truthfully in Venmo," said one user.
"BREAKING: boomers have discovered the Venmo comment section exists," said New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan.
"This is such a Gen Z ‘scandal’ I’m dying Buckle up, because every incoming member of Congress under 30 is going to have something like ‘heroin — $1’ in their Venmo history," Alfonso’s wife, Evita Duffy-Alfonso, wrote.
"The Left can’t meme, can’t take a joke, and then wonders why it keeps losing young men at the ballot box," she added.
TWO HOUSE RACES TAKE CENTER STAGE AS CONSERVATIVE PAC LAUNCHES MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR BIG TECH PUSH
"One time my wife Venmoed a bunch of our friends for their share of an Airbnb with risqué captions, got banned from the app, and had to call customer service to explain it was just a joke. Unlike the media, Venmo understood and let it go," shared Daily Wire bureau chief Tim Rice.
The 26-year-old congressional candidate advanced Aug. 11 in a crowded GOP primary and is set to face Democrat Fred Clark in November.
Fox News Digital reached out to Alfonso for comment.
US marshals survive deck collapse while serving warrant at sex offender's home
Members of a U.S. Marshals task force surrounding the Missouri home of a convicted sex offender suddenly plunged to the ground when the elevated deck beneath them collapsed as they attempted to serve a warrant, startling video shows.
The officers had gathered on the deck at the rear of the home when it suddenly gave way, sending several members of the task force tumbling to the ground below.
The subject of the warrant, Jacob Alexander Munoz, 26, was taken into custody later that day, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
DEPUTY US MARSHAL FATALLY SHOT WHILE SERVING ARREST WARRANT IN LOUISIANA
The Marshals Service said those injured in the collapse are doing well, though some face a longer recovery and could experience lasting effects.
"We expect some long-term effects of this incident for a couple of our TFOs [task force officers] and DUSMs [deputy U.S. Marshals] but nothing that will keep them from continuing the mission of the USMS," the agency said.
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office obtained a state warrant in June or July after Munoz, who had been registering as a sex offender following his release, allegedly stopped complying with the terms and conditions of his release, according to the Marshals Service.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Registry currently lists Munoz as a Tier 1 sex offender. His most recent offense is listed as possession of child pornography involving more than 20 images or one film or video.
The registry lists the offense date as March 16, 2020, when Munoz was 20 years old, and identifies the victim as a girl between the ages of 9 and 13. The offense occurred in Randolph County, Missouri.
Munoz was convicted in 2022, according to the Marshals Service.
FBI NABS MORE THAN 350 ALLEGED CHILD SEX ABUSE OFFENDERS
Local police had seen multiple guns inside Munoz’s home during an earlier search in 2020, the Marshals Service said.
That search was conducted to seize electronic devices and led to the charges that resulted in Munoz’s 2022 conviction, according to the agency.
The task force was serving the warrant as part of Operation Adam’s Watch, a nationwide U.S. Marshals effort targeting fugitives whose original charges involved sex crimes.
The operation marked the 20th anniversary of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.
Derek Chauvin targets George Floyd murder conviction with new claims his prosecution was unlawful
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of killing George Floyd, has again filed a petition to vacate his state murder conviction.
On Tuesday, attorneys representing Chauvin filed a motion requesting the Minnesota Court of Appeals to stay his current appeal.
Essentially, Chauvin wants the court to pause that appeal so he can send his case back to the local trial court to argue a brand-new claim that his original charges were unlawfully brought against him.
In April 2021, Chauvin was convicted of the 2020 murder of George Floyd. Records show the former officer kneeled on Floyd's neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds while Floyd was face down and handcuffed on the ground; Floyd suffered a fatal lack of oxygen to the brain.

"Mr. Chauvin became aware of additional violations of Mr. Chauvin’s due process rights in the unlawful assignment of authority by Governor Tim Walz to Attorney General Keith Ellison to prosecute State v. Chauvin," the motion said.
The Tuesday motion asks the court to pause Chauvin's pending appeal so the trial court can evaluate new procedural claims—including improper prosecutor assignment, failure to convene a grand jury, lack of court jurisdiction, and judicial bias—which his defense argues amount to non-waivable "structural errors."

Trump to nominate Dr Heidi Overton as next FDA commissioner
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he is nominating Dr. Heidi Overton, his deputy assistant for domestic policy, as the next commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Trump said Overton, a physician known for her pro-life views, has been a "ROCKSTAR" in his administration so far.
"Dr. Overton will continue putting AMERICA FIRST, and creating a HEALTHY AMERICA," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
"She has worked directly with Secretary Kennedy, Dr. Oz, and team, to deliver on the MOST TRANSFORMATIVE Health Agenda in History. She is known to take on the HARDEST issues, and bring me solutions that work best for the Country," Trump added.
FDA PROPOSES NEW OVERSIGHT OF FOOD ADDITIVES
In Overton's current role, she regularly briefs the president on various health issues.
Earlier this month, Overton was at Trump's side in the Oval Office as he signed an executive order that aimed to overhaul how many vaccines are recommended to children.
A memo on the order recommends children receive immunizations for 11 diseases, fewer than the 18 current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
It also called for shots to be spaced out in separate visits, while ending recommendations that all minors receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
At the time, Overton urged blue states to adopt the Trump administration's "gold standard" recommendations, despite pushback from doctors.
FDA-APPROVED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND THERAPY TARGETS PARKINSON'S DISEASE SYMPTOMS
"Heidi is ‘ALWAYS RIGHT,’ Secretary Kennedy recently said in the Oval Office!" Trump said, referring to the vaccine executive order signing event on Aug. 10. "We need her leadership at the FDA now to ensure that the U.S. remains the WORLD LEADER for Scientific Discovery and CURES."
If confirmed by the Senate, Overton would replace former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who resigned from the role in May after he clashed with administration critics who had grown frustrated with his handling of several high-profile FDA decisions.
According to various media reports, acting FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas was not interested in taking the position permanently.
Overton, who also had a brief stint in the first Trump administration, has expressed opposition to abortion. If she becomes the head of the FDA, she will lead an agency that regulates abortion medication, most notably the drug Mifepristone.
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, women have increasingly turned to medication abortion to get around state bans.
In a February 2023 policy brief, Overton denounced what she called "chemical abortion."
"Abortion is corrosive to children, women, and society broadly because it devalues and extinguishes innocent human life. Unfortunately, federal policymakers have recently expanded access to abortion pills, also called chemical abortions, which are far more dangerous to women, enabling rapid access to abortion," she wrote at the time.
Overton would also take the reins at the FDA at a critical moment, as the U.S. grapples with a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora.
Before returning to serve in the White House, she served as vice chair and chief policy officer of the America First Policy Institute, a conservative think tank.
AEW's Adam Copeland talks enormous reaction from crowd at Arena México: 'Very blessed and lucky'
Adam Copeland shared a list of famous venues he wanted to compete in during the next stage of the year earlier this month. The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star included Arena México in the bullet points as well as Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto and Tokyo Dome in Japan.
Copeland received his chance to compete at Arena México on Aug. 5 when AEW held Grand Slam Mexico at the facility. He competed in an eight-man tag team match with Christian Cage and Matt and Nick Jackson.
COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK
It was the first match of the night and the arena exploded when Alter Bridge’s "Metalingus" blared through the speakers. It was so loud that AEW commentator Tony Schiavone said on his "What Happened When" podcast he never experienced a pop like that in his career.
Copeland told Fox News Digital that it was the loudest reaction he felt since he was in WWE and made his return to the ring at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
"He had text me. He goes, ‘I've never heard anything like that in my years.’ And that’s saying something, which Schiavone’s heard some stuff, you know, so I was like, ‘Whoa, man.’ And I knew even that night, as I came out, it was one of those where you kind of leave your body for a second and you're there, but you're kind of somewhere else soaking it in," Copeland told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "I don't know how to explain it. The only other time that that's happened was at the (2020) Rumble when I came back.
"So, I feel like those two and I mean, I'm very, very blessed and lucky that in this comeback I've had a lot of really great reactions, and the fans have really come out to support and I think also understand like, ‘Hey, this ain't supposed to be happening and this is limited so we better enjoy it while we got it kind of thing,’ and me too. But that one was special. I put a post and I could feel it in my bones like it felt like I was the Memorex guy in that commercial. Like it blew my hair back. I was just like oh whoa. It's so much to process it."
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Copeland admitted that one of the toughest parts of the night was to come down from the electric crowd afterward.
He said he had to try to find something to get him to relax so he could finally fall asleep.
"The hardest thing about a night like that is back in the hotel after because you're wired for sound," he said. "You're just like … now and I've found that I now have to do things to kind of go, right, OK, wrestling's gone now. Let's, I don't know, I'll watch an episode of ‘Northern Exposure’ or I'll like, you know, just try and bring down the fight or flight that kind of reaction, you know, it hits you in the heart, man, in a very good way. But you also want to be able to sleep. So yeah, that that's what I've always found is the battle.
"But yeah, man. I mean, you can't have a night like that and just be thankful, for all of it and thankful that people this far along still remember or care. And I think it's one of those kind of reciprocal things where Mexico knows I wasn't there for 18 years and chances are I'm not getting back. And I'm not, so I think we all kind of understand, let's enjoy this thing, man because I'm getting to wrestle in Arena Mexico for the first and last time. That's fun. That's fun."
Copeland and Cage are set to take on The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at All In – the biggest event on the AEW calendar.
They captured the tag titles at Double or Nothing in a tag team I Quit match at Double or Nothing.
Copeland and Cage, whose real name is Jay Reso, started Pure Plank nearly two years ago in an effort to help others get healthy.
Copeland told Fox News Digital he still has people coming up to him thanking him for helping them to get healthy.
"When you start to help people find a path to getting healthier, you can knock a path down, but whether people get on the path is up to them, right? We just assumed with planking it's a path that doesn't seem too demoralizing or too intimidating," he said. "It's like, no, you just get down to 30 seconds. Start there. Start with 30 and anybody can start with 30 seconds and that's going to be hard at first and then move on.
"And hopefully the trickle-down effect from that is I'm feeling better, right? I'm not carrying that kettlebell full of gut anymore. Now I could incorporate a full workout. Now I could incorporate yoga. Now I could incorporate whatever you want to try and incorporate. I could kayak now. I can this. I can that. To me, it's kind of like the gateway and planking was the gateway for Jay and I to get back in shape except this is a positive of gateway."
House Democrat accused of sexual assault after admitting to 'consensual' encounter
A sitting House Democrat who's being investigated over sexual relations with a congressional aide is now being accused of assault.
One of the women interviewed by the House Ethics Committee for its probe into Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., is disputing his account of a "consensual" affair in what her lawyers are calling a "brazen" example of misconduct.
"We represent one of the women who was interviewed by the House Committee on Ethics about her experience of sexual harassment and assault by Representative Jimmy Gomez. Contrary to Representative Gomez’s assertion in his statement, his actions were not ‘consensual in nature’ with respect to our client," the woman's lawyers said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
HOUSE BACKS MASSIE'S PUSH TO RELEASE TAXPAYER-FUNDED SEXUAL HARASSMENT SETTLEMENT RECORDS
"We fully expect that the House Committee on Ethics will come to the same conclusion in its investigation."
Gomez admitted to making "mistakes outside [his] marriage" in a statement to Fox News Digital earlier this week after the House's internal watchdog announced it was probing him for misconduct.
GOP LAWMAKER'S GIFTS, 'EFFUSIVE AFFECTION' TOWARD YOUNG STAFFERS DETAILED IN EXPLOSIVE ETHICS REPORT
He said on Monday, "Although my actions were consensual in nature and haven’t violated the law or House Ethics rules, that doesn’t diminish the impact that these mistakes have made on those I care about the most."
But the woman's lawyers said Wednesday that it is "just the latest example of brazen sexual misconduct by a member of Congress."
"Congress must act to rein in its members who seem to believe that preying on young women working on Capitol Hill is one of the perks of their job. We will continue to work with our client and with the House Committee on Ethics to ensure there is accountability for Representative Gomez and a safe path for any other survivors to come forward and share their experiences," the lawyers said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Gomez's office for a response.
He's the latest House lawmaker to be accused of improper relations with a member of congressional staff. His former ally, ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., saw his gubernatorial campaign derailed earlier this year amid allegations of rape.
Reps. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, and Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., both dropped their re-election bids amid backlash over sexual harassment accusations.
Who is Angie Nixon? Bullhorn-wielding socialist upsets establishment favorite in Sunshine State stunner
Another Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member just toppled the party establishment’s preferred candidate, this time in Florida.
Florida state lawmaker Angie Nixon, who recently disrupted a vote in the Florida Legislature with a bullhorn protest inside the state Capitol, defeated establishment-backed candidate Alexander Vindman. Nixon, a progressive activist and DSA member, defeated the retired Air Force officer by more than 10 percentage points despite Vindman’s $16.3 million campaign war chest, compared with Nixon’s roughly $1 million.
Nixon’s viral moment came in April when she took a bullhorn to a legislative fight, walking down the aisle and disrupting proceedings on the Florida House floor during final passage of a redistricting bill backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Dressed in a pink jumpsuit and carrying a pink megaphone, Nixon approached the House speaker's dais and shouted to fellow Florida representatives as the final vote was called. She shouted, "This is a violation of the Constitution! It is!"
SOCIALISTS CAPTURE MAJOR FLORIDA VICTORY ON HIT-OR-MISS NIGHT FOR TRUMP-ENDORSED PRIMARY CANDIDATES
Nixon continued shouting into the bullhorn for the entirety of the vote. She insisted, "What y’all are doing is illegal!" and "I will not allow you to destroy our democracy!" As she shouted, several colleagues could be seen filming her on their phones.
The protest did not stop the vote. While she continued shouting, "You are out of order!" and "This is a violation of the Constitution," the Florida House granted final approval of the redistricting bill in an 83-28 vote.
A month later, WUSF reported that Nixon was arrested after she refused to leave DeSantis’ office while protesting the redistricting measure. She was released shortly afterward.
WUSF previously reported that Nixon self-identified as a member of the DSA.
Nixon also publicly objected to resolutions honoring the late Charlie Kirk. In a September social media post, Nixon called it "BEYOND disrespectful" to honor Kirk because, as she wrote, "that man said some of the most hateful about [sic] Black People and cloaked it in scripture."
Nixon claimed that if someone supported honoring Kirk, "you are a tool of white supremacy." After his assassination, Nixon also claimed that Kirk was "homophobic, antisemitic, [and] misogynistic."
On her campaign website, Nixon vows to fight for what she calls a "working families guarantee," which she says includes Medicare for all, free childcare, a national rent freeze, a moratorium on evictions and a universal jobs program with inflation-adjusted wages. Her website says the government could pay for the programs by taxing billionaires "so that everyone pays their fair share" and by prioritizing "the needs of everyday Americans instead of spending trillions on war and violence overseas."
Nixon also advocates for "abolishing ICE and rebuilding immigration enforcement from scratch." Nixon has said, "I don’t believe any person is illegal, and I don’t believe human beings should be treated as commodities in a system built to punish rather than to heal."
On policing, Nixon has called for "demilitarizing policing and investing in community-based public safety, violence prevention and crisis response."
Nixon has also claimed that the U.S. has "fueled the genocide in Palestine."
