I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Obama responds to the racist Trump video — saying there's a "sort of clown show" playing out on social media: "What is true is there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sense of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office."

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

There is no significant voting by non-citizens. Therefore a new bundle of laws to stop that is dumb. Or worse. It’s voter suppression in a pretty package. IF ID is required, there must be guarantees that support will be provided to those who lack ID. And make Election Day a holiday.
