Simply put, this is unacceptable. The entire agency is rotten to the core. There is no reforming or retraining a culture of lawlessness, there is only uprooting every part of it and then trying something different.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

my vision of the US is I wake up in my neighborhood and all my neighbors are still in it, and all the kids feel safe to go to school, and I go to work and and no one’s waiting at the door to see if I’m someone coming to take them away, and I go to bed knowing the next day will be the same

We've been telling Dems to do this last week. You have to be in Minnesota. You have to be with the people. You have to stand next to Walz and Frey.
Coordinated effort, leadership, and pushback.

THIS. Strike while they're vulnerable.
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.
