I want to scream because you know what ICE/DHS aren’t doing? Enforcing law. They’re accountable to nothing, breaking court orders, ignoring laws/rights in place to prevent the things they do. The more they break the letter of the law, the more you’ll be hard pressed to convince others to follow it.
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

You still think "training" is what's needed here @booker.senate.gov? You can kiss my entire ass with that mess.
Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Here’s the video
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

The phrase “arrested four children” is so gut-churningly evil

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Only a conservative Supreme Court justice could be surprised to learn that many historical laws in America were grounded in gutter racism
The Supreme Court’s “History and Tradition” Test Just Ran Into America’s History and Tradition of Anti-Black Racism
Requiring "historical analogues" for modern gun laws eventually turns up some history that makes even the conservative justices uncomfortable.
