Schumer and Jeffries almost have their strongly worded letter written.
They limited the letter to ONE please and thank you and even escalated by threatening to contain ZERO in the next one.
It's in the print queue, right after the MAGA health plan.
Newsom out there supporting ICE.
We always see a handful of people in the party champion the rational policy. And then the leadership turns on them like lupus. The most corrupt and despicable Democrats lynching the healthy and popular members.
This is why Mamdani gives me hope, but the rest of the country is not New York.
He's definitely the silver lining around the turd cloud.
Remember, the best way to get rid of ICE is to use heaters.
I've seen some examples, which while a bit gregarious, use direct flame contact to remove ice.
Microwave defrost
And Border Patrol! They are the unaccountable paramilitary organization led & staffed by fanatical loyalists to a single leader, lawlessly occupying & brutalizing & terrorizing minorities and the population centers of his political opponents. They've lost all legitimacy.
The entire DHS needs to go. TSA is also useless.
What about coast gaurd or secret service?
While I hope it passes, I don't belive it will. ICE could have been defunded for decades by them. They chose not to because of "scary brown people" and "tough on crime". Biden didn't want it removed, Harris didn't want it removed, so the main leaders won't let this happen.
I would love to have every member of ICE detained for mass treason but I'll settle for every single one of them publicly humiliated and stripped everything. No kindness should exist for fascists.
Why are my own representatives fucking SILENT on this. I'm going to get some signs with my name and address and confront ICE where they live, whenever the ICE list gets released. I'm going to handcuff myself and wear a sign loudly proclaiming who I am and dare them to arrest me.
We'll see how that goes.
Pics or it didn't happen.
i just got a vision of a future headline
"House Democrat Legislation Fails to Abolish ICE"
i'm literally nostradamus
As we both know if they don’t hold a majority it won’t go anywhere.
If they don’t have a super majority then when it hits trumps desk it will die.
It won't even get a headline when it goes nowhere.
Until they arrest Trump and remove him from office nothing is going to change. And if Congress ain't got the balls to do it I guess it's up to the people now.
It’s tougher to abolish ICE after you’ve just voted to continue funding them. Maybe that last one should have been a “no” eh?
Hear hear!
LMAO… good luck with that.
Could happen. Outside of DC ICE is massively unpopular.
This needs to happen.
Horrible HORRIBLE news!
-Democratic Leadership!
