No funding for ICE or other terrorist organizations. It's that simple.

For years, Trump has spun immigrants, reporters, and anyone he dislikes as the "enemy." This created dehumanizing and legitimizing ideology on which he and his administration are now arresting, brutalizing, and killing his invented "enemy."
Terrorism, crime and cruelty have been the plan all along.

"Terrorism" refers to violence to achieve political ends. Research studies showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes means that ICE's actions are about Trump's racist politics, not law. That means ICE operates as a de facto racialized terrorist organization, not unlike the Gestapo.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

It's been six weeks now and even with the latest dump, they still haven't fully released the Epstein files as required by law because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

When you pay attention to the tons of research evidence showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes, you see that the problem isn't immigrants. The problem is the people blaming immigrants and spreading lies and stereotypes about them.

I think it's pretty clear that any Epstein file that would damage Trump will not be released under some invented pretense. These are the people, after all, who think someone throwing a sandwich is an "attack" and part of a "deep state" and that an escalator glitch requires a criminal investigation.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

Homan said ICE is going to stay until "the problem's gone," which means they're never leaving because they are the problem. Just more propaganda trying to make the criminal regime appear "legit" and make it look like they're not the problem.

ICE dining at a restaraunt and then arrsting people working there isn't just cruel and racist, it also invokes power and a master-slave dynamic: being served by those over whom you exert power to abuse, brutaluze, and destroy symbolically harkens back to slavery and conquest.
New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative
"There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?
