ICE is murdering them in the camps. They strangled Geraldo Campos to death.
Chuck, the words you’re looking for are “abolish and prosecute every single one of them.” ICE cannot be reformed.
Claw back the $75 billion or resign in disgrace.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.
