In a forum on federal agents’ use of force in Trump’s immigration crackdown, Democratic lawmakers heard from Americans who have been directly affected. No officials from the Department of Homeland Sec...

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait.
I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

There are a lot of people who are worried and feel like the country is falling into complete darkness. Trump makes threats because he thinks the resistance is scared of him, but we aren’t. This administration sent ICE into Minneapolis to terrorize the community.

They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.
Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.
