Note that Massachusetts is by far the bluest state in which a state agency has a contract with ICE: boltsmag.org/massachusett...
That, of course, is up to the governor, not the U.S. Senators, but striking to see that while Ed Markey calls for abolishing ICE.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Q: There's reporting that federal judges are increasingly frustrated with DHS for defying court orders in cases involving ICE detainees. Should the administration be able to miss deadlines?
