We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Oh wow I love not being able to spend a few hours at a bar with friends without missing a vote by elected leaders to completely cave on every issue that matters to constituents. What a great government we have.

"Stop yelling at her because you feel insecure!" – Witness, to police officer whose only action is to tell onlookers to stand back
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed.
Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?"
Hewson: "Yes."

Hewson sounds like someone who wouldn’t mind getting tear gassed in the future if that’s ever an option.
Loevy: "Tear gas is a serious weapon, would you agree?"
Hewson: "No."

Imagine if you did so many bad things that a list of your moral failings had to be itemized in a list like:
-weaponized intolerance against own daughter
-war crimes
-enabled tyranny
and the “funny one” was:
-tried to murder imprisoned animals as they were set free; shot friend in the face instead

When you go to the bathroom and one big piece of shit comes out, followed later by a second, even bigger piece of shit?
Just because the first piece of shit was a smaller piece of shit, you don’t need to say nice things about it when you flush it down the toilet.
It’s still a piece of shit.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

This was probably done by the same pranksters who kept sneaking swastikas into the backgrounds of Leni Riefenstahl’s apolitical documentary films.
EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.
“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to lately…
On September 28, soldiers from West Virginia patrolling D.C.'s Navy Yard area observed a man masturbating in public.
The soldiers "advised [him] to stop."
Police officers arrested him a little while later after they said they saw him peeing in front of a restaurant.
