ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Canada must be ready for a US civil war, it can’t just let US refugees flood in unvetted, while their humanitarian needs must be met, national security must take priority to prevent any MAGA extremists from slipping through the border. Plans need to be drawn sooner than later.

We are now witnessing—some of us in incredulous horror—what happens when a society confuses authority with innocence and violence with virtue. We have built legal doctrines that reward escalation. We have granted weapons to institutions without demanding restraint.
Don’t Let Them Tell You That Was Self-Defense
Pretti was a licensed, law-abiding gun owner, registered nurse, and worked at a veteran's hospital.

The government now knows they will be removed and prosecuted if there is an election.
And they will act accordingly. We cannot be surprised. We must be prepared.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
