Donald Trump’s secret ICE thugs are murdering American citizens. And then they are lying to the American people to avoid accountability.
This is fascism, plain and simple.
ICE needs to be abolished and they need to immediately get off of our streets.

While it has taken far too long, I’m pleased that Rep. Garbarino recognizes that DHS must be reined in immediately and is asserting Congress’s independent duty to ensure the laws are faithfully executed.
I look forward to this hearing and to holding DHS accountable for their outrageous conduct.

Pam Bondi sends letter telling Minnesota officials if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump and his tech broligarchs they will remove ICE from Minnesota. It was never about immigration. It's about cheating in the midterms.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.
