ICE at its core was designed to not obey the law since its inception. Only with Trump has it been transformed into his personal Gestapo.
"simply about getting ICE back to obeying the law"
Come on. They will never obey the law. And the law itself allows them to abuse & murder with impunity via qualified immunity.
ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES is the minimum short term demand.
Defund and abolish ICE is the only moral long term course.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Arrest them all. Dissolve ICE and impeach Noem.
"The court's patience is at an end," U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz wrote.
"…ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step. But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed."
"…ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step. But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed."
BREAKING:
Minnesota's chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of ICE personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state.

The judge needs to enforce it. Contempt charges and kidnapping charges for every single person involved.
NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge says ICE has been violating court orders repeatedly — detaining noncitizens or rushing them to Texas despite judges' commands.
He wants ICE's director to answer for it "personally," and could level contempt sanctions.

We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*
The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

You know why they're doing this, right? It's because Bad Bunny is doing the halftime show. They know more non-white people will attend. More people to harass, assault, and kidnap.
Reprehensible behavior from racist fascists.

President Donald Trump threatened several pollsters Monday, including the conservative Fox News, over what he declared to be their "fake and fraudulent polling," which he argued should be considered a "criminal offense.

if you're looking to learn about what are some of the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of local elections in places that directly help ICE, this is for you:
NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Some Americans voted for Trump because he would deport anyone who isn't white. They were loud and proud about it.

Don't let these executions be forgotten. Be loud! Keep talking about it. Get angry about it. Make it weird.
Hugo Lowell told MSNOW that the Trump administration expects that the murder of Alex Pretti will "blow over and go away." They believe that Americans will forget about it in a week or so.

They don't want you to speak out against the Gestapo. They will execute you without hesitation. This is what they want. This is the goal and they recruit people who will execute anyone without remorse.

It's beyond time for Trump to be impeached and removed.

If they goose-step like the Gestapo, kidnap people like the Gestapo, terrorize people like the Gestapo, and execute people like the Gestapo, they are the goddamn Gestapo.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
