Judge Katherine Menendez has ruled that ICE must stop harming protesters.

This includes detaining them without cause, using pepper spray and less lethal ammunition and detaining them.

It's a start!

Next step, abolish ICE!

If ICE is stopping and detaining people based on their skin color and/or accent, what they are doing is essentially an ethnic cleansing campaign.

At this rate, the trump administration is going to have to start detaining and persecuting Poles, they are running out of minorities

They are abducting and detaining anyone they feel like. They get a bonus for detaining people. So they just take people. They ram cars and then take the drivers and passengers and leave the cars on the roads, wrecked and empty of their drivers.

There are regular protests at Whipple, the federal building near the airport where ICE is running its operations and detaining anyone picked up, non-citizen or citizen, who is lucky enough to get taken there.

Detaining people how have been on this land for thousands of years? ICE Dopes are intellectually deficient.

Also, when ICE is detaining *Native Americans*, it's clear its own mission, to put it charitably, has undergone *mission creep*.
One reason to abolish ICE (and then replace it with something like the old INS) is we can then de facto fire all of the existing personnel, many of whom are jackbooted fascists. Abolishing ICE is a *pragmatic* move for a pro-democracy movement.
(not dragging @tomscocca.bsky.social btw)
Apparently the catch is that people who write opinion columns in major outlets will describe "abolish ICE" as interchangeable with "open borders"

guess that means Kristi Noem lied about not detaining citizens, but since she lies about everything, I guess we all knew that
There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

One of the more common responses to this thread is that there are reports of ICE confiscating people’s passports/documentation and detaining them anyway, which creates new barriers in proving citizenship to people who can get you out.
