What if they coalesced around abolition instead.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

Here in my community ICE has been setting up near a county center for social services. It’s cold out, but the local hypothermia shelter is seeing fewer clients then they expect, because even people who desperately need to come in from the cold are too scared to come near.

Another great analysis by Bellingcat.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
