What we found

Abdul El-Sayed's own words on the record:

“That's not to say that we're not going to enforce immigration policy. That's not to say we shouldn't have a safe secure zone on the border.”

What's still unknown

Whether Abdul El-Sayed's words amount to what the post says is a characterization; the record above doesn't settle it on its own. The claim is rechecked as more of the record appears.
