This is literally all so stupid, but especially point three. The man who killed Renee Good videoed it himself and we know who he was. This cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

🚨 NON-NEGOTIABLE: Kidnapped children must have access to youtube kids during the ride to the concentration camp
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

The judge emphasized the stakes: “Refugees have a legal right to be in the United States … and importantly, a right not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested and detained without warrants or cause in their homes or on their way to religious services or to buy groceries.

That is correct. Trump has set a date to revoke Haitian protected status, and then set a date for the anti-Haitian pogrom to begin the next day.

ICE must go. Miller must go. Noem must go. Even Vance must go. Their ethnonationalist mania gets more violent every day and is going to destroy America.
This is a scheduled pogrom
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

This administration is stark raving mad, and it is controlled by men - Vance, Miller, Bovino - are all-but-publicly taking orders from neo-Nazis bent on violent removal of nonwhite Americans. The admin barely hides many of these links. And it is driving a campaign of ethnic violence in our country.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

This is the first state to pass a statute that invalidates existing licenses and birth certificates. We may see more states pass similar legislation this year. This is the next step they're moving towards. Ensuring that trans people are pushed out of public life entirely.

A striking part of the reaction to ICE is the solidarity of those not under attack with those who are and the incomprehension of the right who think it's madness or secretly someone is paying and organizing, because self-organized determined resistance mystifies them.

One strategic reason to impeach Noem ASAP is that it increases the likelihood she'll turn on Miller, especially if she thinks the admin is hanging her out to dry.
Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.

Don’t let up.
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

This.

Democrats seem to think that congressional seats are not leadership positions, that they are no more than bureaucratic functionaries, albeit high level ones.

Congressional seats are expected to be leadership positions. Yet Dems do nothing but follow, and follow poorly at that.
The public is off the sidelines! I don't get this. Trump's approval is in the toilet and Democrats are still skittish about going to the mattresses against him. The Minneapolis resistance is inspiring but it should never have had to happen. Our elected representatives should represent us.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities.

Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.
