A vote to increase ICE funds is a vote to increase ICE violence.
If the DHS wanted fully vetted, fully trained ICE, they would have done that already. It wants chaos in the streets to provoke martial law.
AS a CA voter, I shout HELL NO!

The centrist plan on ICE would backfire spectacularly. Dont say, "abolish ICE, say reform ICE" will lead to money being given to ICE for them to spend at their discretion. Giving people money, even scornfully, is not punishment.
