I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

Deeply sad that Jentleson went from the 'we should make the senate suck less' guy (publishing a book on it, ffs) to this shit
Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

It's this generation's Iraq War authorization. It will make or break candidates years from now.
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

"Congress" as described by civics classes, law professors, Democrats, and libertarians — an independent branch capable of executing designated responsibilities irrespective of the partisan balance of power — does not exist. It is a fiction. Every time these things happen, more Americans see that.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

DC Statehood needs to be a Day 1 priority, the one place the Guard aren't being withdrawn is where there is no federalism to protect citizens from presidential overreach. This can never happen again.

Can’t even get a proper intelligence agency to handle this reeks-of-loser-energy shit on the dl, reduced to begging dangerous immigrants to pwease show me your meme posts; pathetic.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

Elias, one of the immigrants in this case, was detained by ICE on his way to his dialysis treatment.
It was one of countless warrantless ICE arrests we've seen in DC.
While detained, Elias was denied the care he needed and his health worsened. He died last week — just days before this ruling.

Fundamentally antidemocratic stuff from two council members who know they’re likely toast in a non-fptp system. The rest of the council needs to squash this now, and respect the will of their constituents.
Neither side would bite, so they hit an impasse. And that's where Bonds, who chairs the committee overseeing the board, jumped in.
"I sense... there needs to be more preparation. It just seems we will take the information you have shared and we will make a decision," she said.
