Abolishing ICE is now at record approval.
Renee Good's murder has ignited US disgust at taxes going to ICE, as Republicans cut everything else.
GOP needs Democrat votes to fund gov't.
Why are some Dems not using that power to cut ICE $$?
And why do they say "No New Funding" — not "No Funding"?

Americans increasingly want to see ICE abolished. Yet, Democrats could soon help Trump expand his violent anti-immigration campaign.

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.
