ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

So...... this seems real bad.
The FBI executed a sealed search warrant today on a key Atlanta area election office - and wouldn't say what that warrant was for.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

Any “concessions” that Senate Democrats squeeze out of Republicans are pure theater. Trump and Stephen Miller will ignore them anyway — it’s all LIES.
Schumer and every Senate Democrat must STOP funding ICE and Border Patrol NOW. No more blank checks for brutality and murder.

They are united calling for abolishing of ICE. As usual, Schumer is at the rear of the column.
Please call your senators and tell them to demand rescission of the ICE/CBP funding under the BBB.
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.

In the dawn's early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead, left to die on snow-filled streets
