I think it would be easier not to fund them to do it then to hand them more money but beg that it all be double checked.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

There have been hugely successful campaigns to fight prison and jail construction across the country, especially in rural areas. These bring together hunters, environmentalists, Indigenous people, prison abolitionists, and immigrant advocates as well as people concerned about land use.

Definitely going to tell myself that it’s ICE’s fault that 36th street is just a big pothole now.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.
the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

so many families are in awful positions because ICE’s bullshit has collapsed the already fragile social safety net.
this family is living in their van in minnesota in winter. they’ve applied for help at over a dozen orgs and are still unhoused. with babies.

There are no quick fixes for fascism - our charge is to confront and uproot the criminalization that underlies and drives it within and beyond borders.
Democrats are suggesting reforms for ICE, but the reality is: abolition is the way forward, not reform.

Wannabe anarchist Kevin Tomlin was upset to discover being an anarchist would require community involvement and not just make him an agent of chaos.

This article doesn't directly say this (though I think it gestures at it) but one of the more transformative things I've learned from Indigenous people as they talk about the land where Fort Snelling/Whipple bldg sit today is to (paraphrasing) center the space (there) instead of the time (now/then).
Tipis erected near Fort Snelling have become a focal point for Native-led resistance to ICE activity, blending prayer, ceremony and protest on land marked by Dakota history.

Be careful, folks. ICE is still out there, circling the schools this morning. Even if this withdrawal is happening over the next week, some of the agents want to get their last bit of being shitheads in.

this is one of those cases where I think no, even rhetorically, you don’t go there. you draw a bright red line and when someone talks about denaturalization you laugh in their face and say “what are you taking about, we don’t do that in America” instead of dunking on their side’s immigrants
Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?
