It will be important in future years when people try to retcon what they did during this time to ensure every single person who was in ICE is treated like scum for the rest of their lives.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

It may be the only way to stop him, in the end. It's either that, or he's going to try to turn the entire world into a fascist gulag.

I'll pass, thanks.

Pierre Poilievre was uncharacteristically silent for two days after Mark Carney's big speech in Davos. When he finally opened his mouth, he confirmed just how far out of his political and intellectual depth he is right now. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre just can't meet the moment
After two days of uncharacteristic silence, the Conservative leader finally found his voice. What he had to say was the same thing he's been saying for years.

Where have all the "Don't Tread on Me" Republicans gone?

They're busy treading on you.

As it turns out, they weren't so much worried about stopping tyrannical governments, as they were that the left was going to beat them to one. They welcome it when it's them doing it.

Where have the 'don't tread on me' Republicans gone?
Many conservatives are embracing big government, from police-state immigration tactics to socialist economic policies.

And so it begins. The payback for standing up to Trump is coming. Count on Trump and MAGA Maple attempting to tear our nation apart by reaching out to the false losers in the Alberta separatist party and Donbass Danielle Smith. Watch the traitors come out from under their rocks.

Carney:

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

Grow a spine and vote no.
