Some asshats told me these are isolated incidents and we should just let them do their jobs hunting down the “violent immigrants” they’re tasked to find.

These are not isolated incidents and if this is what ICE considers their job, then we should absolutely NOT “just let them do their jobs.”
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great

(They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

It's a very regrettable choice.
Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

No, Chuck, we want EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE of their organization prosecuted for their crimes against the American people.

And then the abolition of ICE and dismantling of DHS.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

This reminds me of some Africa conflicts where young fighters were given amulets and told it made them bulletproof.

Schumer has already pre-positioned us into a negotiating position of irrelevance by giving a list of such weak, unenforceable, and ineffective "demands" that would do little to nothing even if ICE did give 100% compliance.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
