Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives.
This is nothing short of psychosocial torture.

BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb issues a TRO blocking DHS Sec Noem's Jan 8 memo purporting to require 7-day notices by members of Congress to perform oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.
The effect is that congressional oversight visits are allowed on request, as is required by Sec. 527.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

While skepticism is always warranted, I think Chief Grochow should be commended for intervening regardless of how he got involved.

New York has 14 287(g) agreements. 12 started under Trump II, and 7 of those are the dreaded "Task Force" agreements (more on the types here, forumtogether.org/article/expl... —the task force model essentially turns local cops into ICE agents doing status investigations).
Ending these would be big.

The obvious problem with this is that ICE will simply ignore these rules and no one has standing to sue and enforce compliance. They’re already ignoring much more serious laws, like laws against murder for example. This is useless.

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.

it is insanely cathartic to see craig getting demolished HARDER in the rural areas and it's hysterical to see the negative messaging tests when craig is "look at her voting record and look at her statements" while flanagan's is "but what if she was the fraud ringleader all along," they have NOTHING
![Even after simulating a barrage of unanswered attacks on Flanagan, including trying to blame Flanagan for the state’s fraud scandal and testing the idea that she is not electable in a statewide general election, Flanagan still leads Craig. Once voters hear negatives on both candidates, Flanagan’s margin more than doubles to 29 points, 59 percent to 30 percent.
[...]
The negatives tested on Craig include her votes for the Laken Riley Act and a resolution that praises ICE. Fully 75 percent of Democratic primary voters say Craig’s immigration record raises serious doubts, including 39 percent who say it raises very serious doubts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mkfyrffhvre6k6jskx7lfaqt/bafkreief2hf4uryno23fk33fy6g6uba2akynl6deg62ejqatcqdi2g5wra@jpeg)
