Schumer, for god sakes you have to either demand higher at the start or figure out a way to whip the wimpiest senators in your caucus to see where the wind is blowing. What are you doing, man?!
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

These just make me feel a little jealous that I’m not getting arrested by feds so I can have a badass photo like this too
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

remember how much you hated Joe Manchin? that guy really sucked! anyway he was to the left of multiple members of the 60-member Dem supermajority of 2008, truly a murderer’s row of dipshits
What people now can't appreciate is how right wing some of those democrats were in that group. I mean seriously right wing. It was a miracle anything got to 60.

Page after page of DHS agents too ashamed to be pictured doing their job isn’t actually sending the power signal Pam Bondi thinks it is.

Kennedy dying and being replaced by a Republican is such a history changing fuck up.
reading about how they basically had to jerry rig it together after Ted Kennedy tied via reconciliation explains so much

see also: the fate of the CLASS ACT :(
Obamacare is great but it certainly doesn't help its legacy that the healthcare systems in this country are still an absolute cluster fuck for many. Not *really* Obama's fault I suppose but people will naturally wonder why is this shit still so busted.

Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

Going beyond these guys, look throughout US history and you realize that over half of all presidents sucked shit and only maybe like 10 tops you can say were more good than bad on balance. Probably much less if you exclude presidents that owned slaves.
I mean yeah. Look at the lifetime of your average millennial:

Reagan: Ugh
Bush Sr: More of the same
Clinton: Meh
Bush Jr: Lots of bad
Obama: OK this is good
Trump I: Fuck
Biden: There were SOME good things here
Trump II: Fuckity fuck fuck fuck
obama was probably the best president of our lifetime and biden the second

which honestly says something about the current bar

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

Fwiw several people whose grandparents fled the holocaust to come to the USA made this exact comparison to me in Minnesota last week, saying this was what their grandparents told them about. The difference is that people in Minnesota have their neighbors’ backs.
my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt
The Minnesota governor is getting widespread criticism for comparing children dealing with immigration enforcement to Holocaust victim Anne Frank.

That’s what you want to see from Dems when opening up negotiations. Chuck Schumer should take pointers from him about how to start demands high when you have the public on your side.

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.

This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.
