It’s a firm line for me: fund ICE and I will not vote for you. And you need to say #AbolishICE. They break their oath to the Constitution every single day.

HBO’s Critical Incident has been out for 3 weeks. The film shows how the current CBP Commissioner Scott used illegal coverup teams to hide murders by his agents when he was Border Patrol San Diego Chief. He is now in charge of these same teams. Not a single dem in Congress has mentioned this film.

Democrat leaders need to lead protests. Go out there and deal with ICE as your people do. Have guns put in your face & a lung full of tear gas. Maybe then you’ll stop giving these terrorists money.

These are current lobbying records. The records no longer contain the names of those lobbied by these for-profit prisons as they did years ago. But it gives you an idea of how much money is being spent lobbying the Senate and House.

He's the Acting Field Office Director! His name is a matter of public record!
VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE
NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

This week, the House votes on DHS funding.
I will not vote to give ICE a single cent.
No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

Consider this your regular reminder that conservatives only bring up sexual violence when they worry white women are showing too much solidarity with people of color.
If they cared about holding rapists accountable, they would be calling for Trump’s impeachment.

DHS is out with a new explanation of this and "he's a brown guy who looked like some sex criminals who he allegedly lived with" (his sister-in-law's story suggests that last part is made up), and they claim he refused to be fingerprinted or "facially ID'd," which I do not in any way believe at all.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?
Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
