Immigration & Border
Public reporting shows Kevin Stocker’s campaign platform mentions “cracking down on ICE,” but I found no detailed policy proposals or clear statements on asylum, pathways to citizenship, large-scale deportations, or specific border-enforcement measures. Available sources provide a short descriptive phrase about immigration/ICE but do not provide a comprehensive or unambiguous policy position.
