Congressional Democrats need to bring a knife to an ICE fight
Letting Congress fully fund the Department of Homeland Security without at least trying to rein in ICE would be a major mistake for Democrats.

Congress must fund the Department of Homeland Security by Jan 30, and spending bills require 60 votes in Senate so Ds have leverage to demand restrictions on ICE. Call your Senators (202) 224-3121: No vote for DHS funding without serious guardrails on ICE. @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country.
They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

Today, Attorney General Ellison announced a lawsuit to end ICE’s aggressive and unconstitutional surge into Minnesota.
This operation was never about safety, it’s a targeted political operation and Minnesota won’t stand for it.

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone.
Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.
