"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea
I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Wait. You've conflated ICE with law enforcement.
It is not policing. It is thuggery and fascism. I am entirely content to see ICE defunded and abolished in full. Like yesterday. That has zero to do with the means by which we reform actual policing in America, or fail to.

Did you know that when Henry Hill went into witness protection, he became a restauranteur?
We are launched!
Gumbo is a short film about a gangster who wants to be a chef, but then his boss makes him do a hit. Passions and responsibility intersect in this one location thriller.
It's Ratatouille meets goodfellas.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture)
It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.
