So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?
Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

THE “EPSTEIN CLASS”
The DOJ is using selective redactions and half lists that protect the powerful while intentionally confusing the public.
They’re protecting reputations, not survivors.

Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool.
But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

They don’t vote, @RepTimBurchett — the point of having armed masked ICE goons at the polls is to intimidate brown people who CAN vote.
We’d say you probably know this, but you seem to not know a whole lot about much of anything.

The Trump administration’s sole unifying message is white supremacy. They are constantly looking for ways to express it.
If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

The SAVE Act and the Myth of a Voter Fraud Crisis
Congress proposes sweeping documentation barriers to combat a form of fraud Americans are more likely to experience as a lightning strike than at a polling place.

ICE has forfeited that claim thanks to its own behavior and leadership. It’s not a “legitimate law enforcement agency.” Defund ICE.
