*THIS* Democrat wants new party leadership in the House and Senate.
Also the complete abolition of ICE and the prosecution of those responsible for violating the rights of anybody In this country, regardless of legal status or origin.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Bill Corbett's right, @governorwalz.mn.gov.
Arrest them or stfu.
You don’t want that confrontation? Well the alternative is letting the people in your state be murdered, tortured, kidnapped. Children abducted and abused.
THAT is the only alternative the ICE nazis are offering. That is what you, Frey and you colleagues have allowed so far.

Walz: "We sill investigate this. We will not be stonewalled ... this will end when enough American say this will end. Do I have any confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing? No ... quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement."

The contempt isn't surprising but it's still shocking.
The AP reports that an ICE officer responded to those protesting the cold blood murder this morning by mockingly saying, “‘Boo hoo.’”
“Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car.”

Everyone in America should have to see these cases and think about what they mean for the kind of society we are becoming. They killed a mom in her minivan. And now they have grabbed this poor sweet kid, used him as bait to grab his dad, and sent him to a detention center in Texas.
