Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.

Reminding you all that Nigel Farage has proudly claimed he is going to be setting up a British version of ICE here in the UK to terrorise us just like American ICE if he ever becomes PM. He has openly said he wants to deport legal migrants.

We all saw the video.
The CBP agent assaulted a women by shoving her to the ground. Then assaulted Pretti twice by pepper spraying him as he helped her up. Then assaulted him again by throwing him to the ground.
Then assaulted him repeatedly on the ground.
And then they shot him.

Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing.
And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics.
What could ever go wrong?

As horrifying as this is, and it really is, one of the biggest issues with treating trafficking and modern slavery as "immigration issues" is that they are not related to immigration. The most common victims in the UK are UK citizens exploited by UK citizens.
