BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.
Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.
I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.
Time to melt ICE.

I come from the philosophical school of LeVar Burton’s Reading Rainbow. Literacy is connected to freedom and it’s connected to an inner dignity. I want everyone to have that. This is not about who reads the most books or whatever else. This is about extending the possibility of freedom.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The Arendt thing about how be a good politician you have to be able to imagine a state of affairs that doesn't exist and then make it reality is simple but turns out important. In this case it would just be a matter of taking the initiative to impeach
Impeachment is honestly one of the simplest things a member can push.
They can write whatever (even a simple "Trump is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors") and force a vote whenever.

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
