Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Qanon never stopped any CSAM production, never saved any kids, but did help keep a guy in power who probably raped kids with his best friend The World's Most Famous Pedophile. So, in the end, I guess the real Qanon was the friends they met along the way, on the CSAM enthusiast website.

Well! I'm sure if there's REDUNDANT laws that say "no" then the fascists will have NO CHOICE but to obey, right? Right??
As Americans reel from the Trump administration’s violent raids and plead Democrats for action, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that his big demand for the DHS funding bill is to bar the agency from deporting U.S. citizens — a practice that is already illegal.
Jeffries’s Big Demand for DHS Bill Is Ban on Deporting Citizens — Which Is Already Illegal
DHS has detained and deported countless citizens — but has repeatedly denied doing so.

"Naive" is the kindest word imaginable for it, and if we're completely honest, it's a naive word for it.
It just seems naive, to me, at a time when the US is gleefully burning every bridge, ripping through international law and norms, and declaring its proud return to a sadistic world ordered by brute force and domination, for people to say, "But don't you see? We rely on them for security."

GOP voted along w/ Dems to release the Epstein files, to create a facade of being open & honest. But when DOJ made only a token release & can't manage to release the remaining 98% they've gone silent, to "protect the political system." That tells Americans everything they need to know.

This isn't nearly enough. Not by a long shot. Whichever Dems this unites need to feel a LOT more pressure from their constituents.
ICE disbanded. Noem goes. No new DHS funds. Rescind funds passed under the one big, grotesque bill last year. Federal law banning masking for law enforcement. And more.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
