Looks like Reform didn't change, and *everyone else* switched to Green
GRN 27% -> 44%
RFM 35% -> 35.5%
CON 23% -> 13.9%
LAB 10% -> 3.8%
LDM 3% -> 1.4%

I assume this is just unfortunate phrasing and the "shooting and killing" part doesn't only apply to American citizens...
ICE should be dismantled immediately.
I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens.
