Stressing how hard it's going to be to "reform ICE." ICE has been operating OUTSIDE the law, disregarding the law not enforcing it. DHS agents are criminals, having committed thousands of felony level crimes, incl murder.
You don't reform that. You prosecute that. 5/

When ICE shoves protestors they are committing crimes. When ICE breaks down car windows they are committing crimes. When ICE grabs observers out of their cars or tackles them to the ground they are committing crimes.
The lawlessness is not how any other “law enforcement” agency in the US works.

Italian journalists of RAI (the Italian major TV and public station) stopped and threatened by ICE. This should not be the narrative the US government wants to send abroad.

I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit.
