Never forget how all of this happened:
Last summer, Trump and Republicans in Congress cut health care by $900 billion so they could TRIPLE the ICE budget.
Now thousands of ICE agents are on the streets of Minnesota. And you lose your health care.

We're into the second day after the shooting of Alex Pretti, and neither of Pennsylvania's Senators has put out a public statement on it, or on funding/standards for ICE with a vote on funding due this week.

For those who have been following the story of the detained immigrant father who was the 24/7 caretaker for his disabled adult son Wael, leaving his son in danger for his life.
Without his father, Wael has now died.
Another death by ICE.

Philando Castile informed the police that he was lawfully carrying. He was killed.
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

Concerned this will be something like Pritzker bringing the state police to Broadview. The official narrative was that they were there to protect us, but what they really did was insulate ICE from protest. There are protesters who are still facing charges from their violent arrests by state cops.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz activated the National Guard following a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Still, call your senators and tell them NO FUNDING FOR ICE AT ALL and stress to them that they must vote NO to any "reforms" like "training" and body cams that would give more money to ICE. NO. DEFUND AND ABOLISH. THAT'S IT.

The long tail of the fund the police movement is killing free society.
Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.
