I truly don't see how ICE's continued existence is compatible with law and order. Even if one cares only about law and order and the rule of law and nothing else, abolishing ICE should be a no brainer.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

I wrote about the increasing use of overt Great Replacement rhetoric in ICE recruiting tools, and why American Jewish organizations like the ADL should be a lot more frightened of ICE than they are of Zohran Mamdani. forward.com/opinion/7983...

In Minneapolis, the poisonous mix of antisemitism and anti-immigrant rhetoric of the great replacement theory is becoming newly clear.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

🚨 We need just 23 Republicans to stop this madman from starting a World War. Three in the House and 20 in the Senate to join Democrats and impeach, convict, and remove Donald Trump.

Here are their names. Call them if you are a constituent.

In one of his final moves before leaving office today, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy vetoed bills aimed at protecting immigrants out of fear it would invite legal challenges from the Trump admin.

Immigrant advocates decried the decision: "ICE is already here, kidnapping people."

Phil Murphy killed a bill that'd have codified in law restrictions on how sheriffs and police can partner with ICE. Some restrictions remain in place, for now, via an attorney general directive.

Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove.

donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

What Is the Disqualification Clause?
Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment states:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Also it's important to NOT think of this as a direct move *by the Danish government*. The pension's board has a Ministry of Finance member, but 9/10 are non-government. This is an independent move undertaken by non-government actors, not a diplomatic decision.
