After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

My commute home from work is littered with abandoned cars. Just sitting there, in the middle of the road. Windows broken out. Lives scooped up and taken away. Just like that.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.
NEWS: Ford worker who heckled Trump kept his job, got 'no discipline' on his record, UAW says.

UAW: Ford worker who heckled Trump kept job, 'no discipline' on record
The United Auto Workers union said TJ Sabula remains employed and called out the president for making an obscene gesture toward the worker.

To be clear, I counted HCSO deputies, State Patrol troopers, and DNR Conservation Officers among all the police present. MnDOT plow trucks blocked roads entering the area around Whipple, which obstructed the way for at least one ambulance. This is on Sheriff Dawanna Witt and @governorwalz.mn.gov.

I think it's funny they tweeted this and not the complete results, which showed Klobuchar only getting 72%, not 79%. Hmm, I wonder why.
Thank you, Minnesota, for showing up for your neighbors in historic numbers on Caucus Night!

In NE Minneapolis and Columbia Heights today, Weds. 2/5/26, ICE has been focusing on schools and schoolbus stops. SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLBUS STOPS. This is their “softer touch”
Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.
Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

ICE already doesn't care about the Constitution. Why would they give a shit about a deal with Chuck Schumer?
None of this is enforceable. Half of it is already existing law. All of it depends on voluntary compliance and follow-through from ICE. Why should we pretend Republicans will act in good faith?

This isn't unusual. I've seen metro districts with 90%+ uncommitted delegates. People know Klobuchar's record on ICE & Trump judges. She's a paper tiger - all the fundraising imaginable, but no grassroots enthusiasm.
We just need ONE (1) slightly audacious DFL politician willing to challenge her.

Oh good, ICE agents will get to have multiple angles for their videos of themselves killing civilians.
Why stop there? I say, every ICE agent deserves a subscription to Final Cut Pro, so they can gussy up those videos and make them look professional.
