Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

If you are counting on tariffs to help dramatically cut the deficit - then you're going to need much higher tariffs.
Uncle Sam brought in $31 billion in import duties in October - while the overall budget deficit was $284 billion.
