No. Abolish ICE.
I won’t support additional funding for ICE unless we put guardrails in place to make sure ICE is better trained and actually focused on making our communities safer.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

This made me cry tears of relief.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Not gonna lie, living here in WA that has so many deep ties with Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Boeing makes me think that we as a state need to collectively reckon with our labor propping up such pillars of unchecked power and greed.

Call only your OWN reps. Call even if you don't think they will listen.
1) Make staffers create a record and have to note that a constituent called.
2) Make it so they can't ignore the issue/Make clear you won't let this go.
3) Disrupt business as usual and the idea that people "don't care".

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding
We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov has to go,I personally wont shut up until she is gone. I will find every chance between now & November to use my union coalition, my social networks and my community to make sure the people fully understand her track record of voting against the will of her constituents
@gluesenkampperez.house.gov how you, as a mother and child of an immigrant, could vote to fund ICE is unimaginable.
do you think this vote keeps your children safe from ICE or Noem's goons? i certainly don't. you may live to regret your choices. i guess we will wait and see.

This is a really important story, and one that explains the place of the Hmong community in the Twin Cities and why this entire occupation is really just ethnic cleansing (my words). Also, props to Marisa for doing the work to get this story right when so many out-of-town journalists have failed.
New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.
