Abolish ICE is the floor, not the ceiling.
You can't reform something which is completely broken and corrupt. You need to tear it down.
Democrats not on board with this aren't your allies. They will betray you and your communities in the future.

Did they think they’d be greeted as liberators??
I think it’s social media brain rot on the right, especially on Twitter where trolls & bots have flooded the space. I think some of these guys thought this was a populist movement & not white supremacy & fascism.

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

This is mind-bending. The Minnesota GOP Governor wannabe who volunteered as the 1st ICE murderer's legal counsel just DROPPED OUT of the governor's race (and seemingly the party) because he can't stomach the 2ND ICE murder www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...
Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Did you ever think you’d be living in a time where several masked men could tackle a woman or grab a child, or beat someone & all that would happen is that everyone would just record it & not intervene?

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor
he’s the kind of guy they get training from
the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

No. ABOLISH ICE.

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
