Now is the time for Dems to use the popular momentum and POWER OF THE PEOPLE to make huge changes to ICE and DHS. Instead they are asking real nice pretty please for DHS to obey EXISTING LAW and not violate the Constitution, pretty please. If you goons don't mind.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Sir, the sane voters of the United States want ICE abolished. There is no “clean up the agency,” that can fix what has happened. They murdered people, abused and assaulted immigrants and citizens. It’s too late to fix. It must be abolished.

Getting ICE out of Minneapolis isn’t enough, says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar:
“We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.”

Biometric locks like face recognition are convenient to set up—but because of a legal loophole, law enforcement can bypass them more easily than a traditional passcode.
