Don’t get us wrong, this is the BARE minimum, and it’s pointless if the Dems don’t negotiate significant ICE funding cuts (we want our $75 billion back, Chuck) before funding DHS.
But it is something, and we are thankful for that step.

Speaking of children not being able to walk to school, ICE agents are snatching kids off the streets of Minneapolis (and St. Paul!) and parents are having to form patrols to guard against kids getting abducted at pick-up and drop-off.
Gov. Landry: "I like to ask Democrats if they like their communities to be dangerous or safe. Do they want their children to be able to walk to school or do they want to worry if they send them on the sidewalks, that unfortunate violent things are going to happen to them?"

ICE bolsters surveillance technologies, including ‘iris scanning’ contract with Massachusetts tech firm, data show - The Boston Globe
New technologies would help federal immigration officers identify people faster and more easily.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
