No, the only option is abolish ICE and that itself is just a compromise. Abolish them, revoke pensions, and charge these people like the criminals they are!
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

No, it's because the author turned out to be a transphobic piece of shit
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

The government executed an innocent citizen in public and kidnapped the witnesses.
It's a war against the people.
Solidarity with everyone against ICE and this entire administration!
