This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
This is an execution in the street by ICE.

Tens of thousands of people peacefully protested and made their voices heard to stand up for our immigrant siblings.
This is what solidarity looks like!

A supervisor in FBI’s Minneapolis field office resigned "after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into" ICE agent Jonathan Ross. "Such inquiries are a common investigative step in similar shootings."
