A reminder that ICE was established in 2002, in the midst of an earlier bout of anti-brown-people panic.
It's been around for less than 24 years. Its existence isn't a law of nature.
Tearing it down is the bare minimum. Anything less is collaboration.

Ah yes, I see senate Dems have gone from "abolish ICE!" to "well actually ICE is pretty great, as long as it's pointed at *those people* and they're wearing ID while they brutalize them. Also somehow they'll obey all of this despite covering up murders."
Expected yet still disappointing.

This is why we can't be satisfied with a drawdown in one area.
They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

Ted Cruz torched Vance and ridiculed Trump's tariff policy during private donor meetings, according to recordings obtained by Axios.
"JD is Tucker's protégé, and they are one and the same."
Cruz on 'Liberation Day' tariffs: "I've told my team if anyone uses those words, they will be terminated."

What's that saying? Oh yeah, SEE SOMETHING - SAY SOMETHING (like, maybe, I dunno, in the Senate).
This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

This right here....though I'd go so far as to say they wouldn't be moved by ANY abuse or murdering of their fellow humans.
The people who are not moved by children being massacred in school shootings because of the policies they support will not be moved by a white mother being killed by authorities either. That’s effortless for them.
