No. Commonsense reform is to burn ICE to the waterline and scatter the rubble so that all of us who value a constitutional republic with a Bill of Rights can prevent such a monstrosity from ever being constructed again.
And nothing above is hyperbole.
God, but you are not a leader for this time.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

This is almost a parody of corporate liberal thinking
Like there was an orphan-crushing machine being distributed to all 50 states by the Republicans, and the Democrat response is a bill limiting the number of orphans that can be crushed

I know everyone knows this but I do think it’s worth acknowledging—as someone who went to Harvard and then worked at an elite law firm and exists in these stupid little white shoe spaces—there is no FUCKING world in which a single person was unaware that Epstein was a sex offender. NO WORLD.

A lot of people I know are doing everything they can to push back on the horrific actions of ICE.
Many more of them grieved the killing of Alex Pretti.
Pat Hynes, who is running for Cook County Assessor, accepted 25k from the people who celebrated the fact that ICE killed him.

My opponent, Pat Hynes, took $25,000 from a MAGA Trump donor whose family cheered when ICE killed Alex Pretti.
The Loquercios has given $372,000+ to Trump, McConnell, Graham, and others.
Democrats shouldn't take money from MAGA donors or people who celebrate murder. Return it.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
