Abolish ICE is not unclear. There are not many interpretations. People know what it means and some do not like it, and they are lying about it being unclear.

I've seen a lot of cases, and I have to confess this one is very very bad from what I have seen. Marimar Martinez, from what. can tell, really was almost executed by CBP agents who tried to cover it up and showed that they did not care about her life at all.
Chicago's U.S. attorney's office has released evidence from the case against Marimar Martinez, pre-empting her press conference later today.
It even released text messages it once claimed would "sully" a Border Patrol agents's rep.

The economy produced roughly the same number of jobs in Joe Biden’s last full month in office as it produced in Donald Trump’s first full year in office.
Kind of wild that this jobs report is being framed so positively when it also says this “the annual benchmark revisions sharply lowered estimates for job growth in earlier months. The new estimates show that the U.S. economy added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from the earlier estimate of 584,000”

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.
