I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

If you do not have this on an infinite loop in your head yet, it can only be because you have not heard it once.
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

I heard that that there are right wing environmental groups who care about conservation and big game hunting. I say, if it takes misguided macho ideology a la Teddy R and E Hemingway for more to care about climate change, fine.

For several yrs, by comparison, the Iranian govt appears reasonable and rationale, while Israel and the U.S. are war mongering extremists.

5 years after Chauvin murdered George Floyd:
-Police are killing more Americans than ever before
-Qualified immunity still exists, preventing accountability
-Police budgets are bigger than ever before (Thanks both to Biden and Trump)
This is not freedom. This is a march towards authoritarianism.
