In all seriousness, how can it be that the official now in charge in Minnesota was caught by the FBI on video taking $50,000 to steer government business, and walking out with the money, which we still haven't seen. How is he still working in Administration, not to mention not behind bars?

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Border Patrol commander to leave Minneapolis after shooting of Alex Pretti, says official
Gregory Bovino, aggressive promoter of Trump’s deportation agenda, also said to have been stripped of ‘commander at large’ title
Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol commander who has become the public face of the Trump administration’s on-the-ground immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, is expected to leave the city on Tuesday, as the Trump administration reshuffles leadership of its immigration enforcement operation and scales back the federal presence after a second fatal shooting by officers.
A senior Trump administration official told Reuters that the 55-year-old, who has been a lightning rod for criticism from Democrats and civil liberties activists, would be leaving Minnesota along with some of the agents deployed with him. Continue reading...

Our protests worked. Although Trump’s retreat is a limited and temporary victory, it is nonetheless significant because it teaches us that when the people rise in unison, they are an unstoppable force. The madness will stop when enough of us say “No.”
