This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.
