Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.
Don’t let up.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A Danish pension fund sold $100 million in US bonds. Trump said he “holds all the cards” and warned Europe against selling US assets over tariffs, or face “big retaliation”. A Swedish pension fund responded by dumping $8.8 billion in US Treasury bonds.

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.
Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.
Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.
Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

Stephen Miller acknowledges a “possible breach of protocol” before Alex Pretti’s shooting.
Come on! That’s not it. The agency is performing exactly as designed.
Miller set a quota for ICE arrests and impossible hiring targets. Kristi Noem set low standards for qualifications to meet the quota.

Trump regime basically: 'The rapist hasn't given his blessing to protect the victim, so at this point the victim will not receive any protection.'

We hebben voor 84 miljard aan goud, wat doen we daar mee?
De goudprijs staat op een recordniveau: boven de 5000 dollar voor een troy ounce 31,1 gram, oftewel ruim 137.000 euro per kilo. Daarmee is de meer dan 600 ton aan goud die Nederland bezit zon 84 miljard euro waard. Daar kun je heel wat leuks mee doen. Maar dat doen we niet en daar zijn goede redenen voor.

So, forcing them to not wear masks basically defunds ICE Gestapo with 75%.
Of course few of them will actually quit. But otherwise it would have been a pretty simple measure to downsize ICE significantly.

The Mayor of Milan Sala is well informed about ICE:
“This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,”

This is 100% whitewashing after the fact.
If indeed he didn't have a an ID on him. Which is doubtful. Because if the administration says he didn't have an ID and they are the only source, than he likely did have an ID on him.
But even if he didn't, they only knew this after they murdered him.

It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway
