Democrats are demanding reforms to ICE.
ICE must be held to the same standards as local law enforcement. But Republicans are refusing.

After the Trump regime empties out its concentration camps by deporting all the dark-skinned immigrants it rounds up, those camps will still be operational and ready for use against the next groups of people the regime targets as enemies. Such as, perhaps, you.

This is a big deal: Hours after ICE agent Charles Exum shot a Chicago woman five times, Greg Bovino offered to extended the agent's scheduled retirement as a reward for his "excellent service in Chicago." Incredible.

Thank you for having me, Broward County Democrats! It’s great to see so much energy and determination to win this November.
Together we can end the chaos, crush corruption and lower costs.

There’s nothing wrong with being a Zionist ffs.
I’m a Zionist.
Bc I believe the state of Israel has a right to exist. (As the US does).
That doesn’t mean I believe Netanyahu and his fascists have a right to ruin their country.
Try deploring BN and his RW party not the country.

From bulldozing our rights to upending our economy, ICE needs to get out of Minnesota. Local businesses—from restaurants to home construction—are being hurt by ICE's surge in our state.

Cannot possibly happen at this stage. (No GOP would possibly vote to abolish).
Winning the concessions Dems have outlined is the immediate goal.
Abolishing is totally contingent on Dems winning House and Senate in the midterms.

“We can’t terrorize 98% of the people in this country that have been wrongfully detained for 2%,” Johnson said. “That’s not how the system works. And that is not OK.”
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
