They can't entertain the idea of letting it go completely, because that would look like they were soft on the border. And if they're "soft on the border," that gives Republicans something to point to. And if Dems are terrified of anything, it's looking bad to Republicans, a voting bloc they desire.
Democrats may think they are softening the message when they say things like "Abolish Trump's ICE" but this is a mistake.
The qualifier of "Trump's" shows a deflection of Dem responsibility for perpetuating this agency and funding it.

Just to say: You can be happy Greg Bovino is out, and that ICE is starting to leave Minneapolis, AND continue to call for the dissolution of ICE/DHS. Take a little victory lap and then keep on the pressure.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here:
“Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

In tinkering with the Heroforge figure I made over the weekend and in filling out the latest Unearthed Arcana D&D preview survey, I've come to realize why I've relaxed on an oddly specific bugbear (ha) of mine as far as the game is concerned.

After all that's happened today, the next whiff of "But the Repubwicans won't like us because they think we don't like the powice ;-;" from our elected officials is going to Jokerize me real quick

This is honestly a really good reflection of a lot of weird little hiccups as far as being American is concerned. Our capital city is Washington DC but it's not a city that we identify with aside from its historical contexts.
I continue to believe that one of the things that fuels this “no protests” myth is that the US is a massive and sparsely populated nation that can’t continuously and consistently converge on one central city the way, say, the French can.
I remember how I was asked, live on German television, a mere 48 hours after No Kings II: “Why are there no protests?” And three months later, as the people of Minneapolis are standing in solidarity against the outrageous occupation of their city, I’m still getting that question in most interviews.

Have you heard City, the obscure second album from beloved Canadian band Strapping Young Lad?
You should! Even if you haven’t you might like it! Heavy music can be very cathartic.

This whole episode has rapidly deteriorated my respect for Walz, and I really hope as others reflect on this the same way, he changes his tone real quick before... it was already awful, but before it gets even worse.
State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.
