DSA Co‑Chair Megan Romer Confirms Platform to Abolish Senate, ICE, Borders and Defund Pentagon

Megan Romer Democratic Socialists of America Senate abolition ICE abolition border amnesty

Democratic Socialists of America co‑chair Megan Romer appeared on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream and answered a series of true‑or‑false questions about the organization’s platform. She affirmed that the DSA calls for abolishing the U.S. Senate, replacing the presidency and Supreme Court, and eliminating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Romer also said the group supports ending U.S. borders and granting mass amnesty to people residing illegally, defunding the Pentagon, and abolishing prisons at least in large part. The platform calls for public or state ownership of most large corporations, and Romer described the Senate as an “anachronistic institution” derived from the British House of Lords, advocating a unicameral Congress.

The interview has drawn sharp reactions. Republican leaders such as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Speaker Mike Johnson have denounced the proposals as a “Bolshevik revolution” within the Democratic Party. A Wall Street Journal editorial and numerous social‑media commentators have amplified the controversy, framing the DSA’s agenda as a fundamental challenge to the U.S. constitutional order. The story coincides with a surge in DSA‑backed candidates winning primary elections, underscoring the group’s growing influence inside the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 midterms.
