When Democrats regain power in Congress, we must take on ICE and Border Patrol’s abuses of power.
The immigration system is civil, yet Trump is treating it as a criminal one and locking up tens of thousands of people. It is not just and we will not let it stand.

Fresh off an Eagles playoff loss? ICE does not want this heat
I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

Americans are turning against ICE in the wake of the murder of Renee Good. As Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act, Democratic leaders are fighting back. And as the midterms approach, some good news for Democrats' chances of taking back Congress. There are bright spots amid the darkness.

Jonathan Ross was literally filming with one hand as he executed an innocent civilian with the other.
All body cams will do is free their other hand up for, what, a second gun?

The killer of Renee Good proudly RECORDED THE KILLING. Body cams won't stop this. And "training" just gives ICE more money to train its agents to keep doing what they're doing.
Abolish ICE. Defund it entirely.

THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.
