FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Last week, when we learned DoJ was investigating Renee Good’s partner, I said they’d probably investigate Good herself if she hadn’t died. Turns out…

"Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

Two weeks ago Trump warned Iran that if they harmed protesters the US military was “locked and loaded” and would come to their rescue to save them. Thousands were killed, Trump did nothing. Now this.

Why do I feel like every time one of these guys enters a guilty plea it’s only because they’ve lined up a future pardon from Trump for the standard fee.

This is such an important point. That 5-year-old and his dad should never been detained in the first place! That's because they were already in the system and going through the legal process to seek asylum — and their arrest was seemingly just to juice ICE's numbers.
This kid and his father entered via CBP One app. It's just absurd and monumentally unfair for people who availed themselves of lawful channels when they existed by following government processes to suddenly get detained and deported to a third country.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

This sudden flip to ‘we’re just here to find the sex offenders’ is gaslighting at the highest level, and that’s before we even get to the fact that, if that were their goal, they never needed to leave the White House in the first place.
Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

We already had the real-world experience of unvaccinated people getting measles, and it's why we invented the vaccine for measles.
It's one thing to be a sociopath playing with the lives of others. It's another to be gleefully stupid about it.

I first visited Dilley in 2015, less than a year after it had been opened by the Obama administration. It is not a good place.
To his credit, Biden actually followed through on his campaign promise to end family detention. But now the Trump admin has just reactivated the Obama-era infrastructure.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.
