ICE should be abolished for the simple fact that being undocumented is a civil matter, not a criminal one. And if someone does break the law criminally, that's what we have regular police for. We don't need Patriot Act level gestapo on our streets, we never have.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Sen. Kelley is a highly decorated Naval aviator and astronaut.
Hegseth is a notorious drunk. He is most notable for his time as a weekend anchor on Fox.
Attempting to court martial Sen. Kelley will be a major embarrassment for Trump
Good read from Robert Reich

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

What’s going on here? Am I in some parallel universe? This is dated 3 years ago. Biden was in then. I am so confused. It is however very similar to a post he put out yesterday.
Trump is so far detached from reality it’s absurd. It’s past time to talk seriously about the 25th Amendment.
