The present moment is no longer about politics, it's about ethics, which is more fundamental and universal than R v D or left v right.
There are people in this country who are aware of what time it is in American politics and those who are still living in the 1990s.
2025 is 1860.

Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

Dismantling DHS is an entirely achievable goal for Democrats at this point.
You can have Fox yell at you for being a radical leftist or whatever, but you're going to have endless images of paramilitary goons assaulting people on TV, and voters will associate you with wanting to end that.

Vladimir Putin has planned since 2018-19 for Trump to seize Venezuela (and Greenland) through illegal military aggression.
Fiona Hill testified about it in 2019.
It destabilizes the Western Hemisphere and keeps the United States from helping Ukraine defeat the illegal Russian military aggression.

The Trump crime family needs a secret police force to carry out their mass deportation goals. This authoritarian agenda requires violence, and they’re deliberately recruiting sadists who enjoy hurting people. And this is still the beginning. It’s headed to a dark place.
This is exactly right.
They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.
Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.
