Woke up early this morning to the evil of Trump’s ICE Proud Boys - this text came in overnight from a friend in USA who’s now spending his retirement supporting persecuted immigrant families. His protection is he’s white and middle class. But this is what’s happening to the poor.

So I realize there are certainly local politicians who have this aim in practice, but has there ever been a political figure at the national level who openly declared their desire to make homeownership more expensive and unattainable?
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

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.

It's infuriating how stupid these people are. The agency is a federal armed paramilitary occupying a whole city! Police not wearing masks and having body cameras hasn't stopped them from being abusive to the point of killing, why would that be your benchmark? More people will die with these reforms.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said federal immigration agents must lose masks, wear body cameras and observe other new restrictions as he outlined conditions that his party seeks to extend government funding beyond Saturday's deadline reut.rs/4akTYUY

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.
