So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?
Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.
One of the interesting things this time around is just how hollow the whole thing sounds. In the past, people have been able to use the empty concept of electability to anoint and position the person they demanded, but now that Republicans are getting obliterated everywhere, that doesn't work.
If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

It's part of a larger push by the publication into video, and a further investment in the US, where the Guardian now has 200 staffers.

Part of my theory of change is to share the words white men need to hear, spoken by white men. This is because creating defections is crucial to stopping authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. This is because almost everyone else is already off the Trump train.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Burn ICE to the ground, piss on the ashes, and salt the earth.
Then build a professional agency with standards and accountability to accomplish the critical mission they were supposed to be doing.

Courts say ICE broke the law—thousands of times. The abuse continues anyway. This isn’t enforcement. It’s systemic disregard for constitutional rights, enabled and defended by the Trump regime. Republicans are treating the Constitution like toilet paper.
