Even among Trump's core constituencies, opposition to ICE is strong. Turns out that most people don't like living in a police state.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

My three-year-old was reading ProPublica when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why is the nice orange man keeping little children in detention camps?" And when I told her "Because those dark little children were sent by the Jews to replace white children like you," she started crying.

President Trump now says he backs the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar, because "We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks." Nexstar is calling itself "the anti-fake news" as it seeks FCC approval

Southcom killed 2 more in the Eastern Pacific today, making at least 131 civilians killed by the US with no due process in 35 attacks over 5 months.

The Republican party doesn't want women to vote because women are more likely to vote Democratic than men so they have came up with this scheme called the Save Act.The name sounds like it's patriotic voter protection.
But what it really does is disenfranchise women & impose a poll tax.
