FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

An ICE detainee is the victim of “homicide” according to an autopsy report, and he is just one of 3 deaths in 44 days at this Texas ICE detention facility.

I keep thinking about how the people of Minneapolis already went through so much in the last six years and now have to survive ICE's mass brutality across the city. Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog were assassinated less than a year ago last June.

The Interior Department said pausing construction of offshore wind farms would allow the government agencies to work with project developers to mitigate potential risks. But wind companies say the administration isn't sharing information about newly-discovered threats. n.pr/4qt8mA9
