Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training."
They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis!
You don't train Nazis. You abolish them. ABOLISH ICE. NOW!

Just like they are lying about Jan 6 when we all watched the horror that occurred at the hands of Trump's MAGA insurrectionists
Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good:
"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

Not only that but they're also saying she deserved to be killed because she didn't obey orders and drove at the ICE man (a lie), but hailed Ashley Babbitt a hero and awarded her family $5M after she was killed for not obeying an order and proceeding to come at officers protecting lawmakers.
The party of Christian values, who demanded everyone to mourn Charlie Kirk and caused ppl to lose their jobs over simply quoting Kirk, is celebrating a mother being labeled a terrorist and being murdered in cold blood.
