I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

It really is the moderate position at this point
Independents are +12 on abolishing ICE
77 percent of Democrats want to abolish ICE.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I legitimately believe a US invasion of Canada would quickly morph into a civil war in the US and Canada. You’d have some albertan separatists supporting the invasion. You’d have people in places like WA and Minn. supporting Canadian insurgents and things would get complicated fast.
"the model includes tactics used by the Afghan mujahedeen in their hit-and-run attacks on Russian soldiers during the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War. "

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

I really hope when all is said and done rump parts of the US that want to act like adults can and will be able to rejoin the world order.
Unfortunately I think many Americans will treat any international humiliation with the same reaction as southern lost cause politics.

If you are in Congress, I have to think that somewhere down in your soul, buried deep beneath the decades of cynical self-promotion and compromise of principles, some part of you once loved your country and wished to serve it. Would be nice if some of them could remember that now.

The Greenland situation really lays bare how clueless congressional Democrats are about the state of the country. Genuinely, these people believe that once Trump is gone, everything will reset to 2013. They can't come up with anything better--even better *messaging*--than "We'll wait him out."

His reference of Jonathan Daniels is a great one. I just recently learned about him, what a fantastic model of a martyr for charity here in America.
anyway, the bishop's comments in this article are excellent though
Amid ICE clashes, New Hampshire bishop urges clergy to prepare their wills
The Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire told priests protesting ICE to get their wills and affairs in order. Some praise the bishop, while other priests say they never signed up to be martyrs.
