the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor
he’s the kind of guy they get training from
the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.
Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”
The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

The claim that the shooter in Minnesota was injured and needed to be treated is undermined by a) he was seen walking away from the shooting, seemingly fine, and b) this is the same line the administration used to justify another DHS killing. Its a playbook. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

Since Noem became head of DHS and ICE further reduced standards for joining the agency while White House officials such as Stephen Miller demanded enforcement quotas, there has been a huge uptick in horrendous violence from ICE. This was predictable, yet it remains shocking and unacceptable.

Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.

Minnesota is being terrorized by ICE. They are abducting people in 2 minutes or less from bus stops, cars, work. This is not enough time to check if someone is here legally. They are abducting and disappearing based purely on race. It was never about going after criminals, it's just terror.

I'm not convinced of the utility of this ring since it only fits one Skittle and the only acceptable way to eat Skittles is to pour out the entire bag, organize them by color, and then eat them three at a time in red-orange-yellow-green-purple order. There is no place for the skull in this process.
