I was actually surprised earlier today, as I got an email from Elizabeth Warren with fundraising asks to help orgs in MN. (With no included asks for fundraising for herself/other dems.)
Was the first time I'd seen anything like that from a rep, hope it won't be the last. Needs to be more of that.

ICE currently has a code of professional conduct. Among other things, it requires agents to be "professional, police, respectful, considerate, helpful and patient in all official activities ... even in the face of considerable provocation."
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

Democrats demand new ICE restrictions as government shutdown looms
After federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they’ll block a massive government funding package without policy changes.

Is this a Win? Yes, but also No.
Tl;dr: The best thing you can do is keep calling your Senators every single day and demanding that they vote against DHS funding bills, unless the funding bill includes significant cuts to the ICE budget + adds real oversight, not just the rules already in place.

🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

Trump’s former lawyer Ty Cobb says ICE actions in cities and Georgia seizure of ballots and data are about election interference—part of broader plan. He argues apparent softening by Homan is strategic. Tulsi Gabbard’s involvement and record seizures is because of failure of other attempts.

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.
