The New Democrats & the Progressive Caucus just put out a joint statement with a list of demands for immigration enforcement reforms... 2 things on this:
1-the New Dems are to the left of Schumer on this
2-nothing about clawing back the $175 billion in OBBBA funding for ICE

Golden is retiring.
The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running.
The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents.
Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez.
If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

Federal agents going door to door, forcing entry, and detaining people without judge-signed warrants is a grotesque abuse of power and violation of the 4th amendment.
That’s not law enforcement. It’s a secret police force.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.
Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

Child abuse is a central plank in the conservative platform, because physical mastery of the weak is how they establish dominance, their only value. It's not just something a lot of conservatives do, it is part of being a conservative.
