America's secret police just detained a guy who might be Mayor of New York City and his NYPD escort. We have to abolish ICE. That should be the baseline Democratic Party position.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.
I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.
Inaction is complicity.

Once again, progressives on the right side of history, knuckle draggers allowing it to get to this point

Congress voted into law that the USPS needed to fund retirement 75 years in advance.
They'd simply need to reverse the law.
But yeah, ICE was the subject in the thread 😜
She got both right. 👌

25 billion is relief funds during COVID. It did not become law. Congress is responsible Constitutionally appropriate funds.
Congress makes the laws.
I have a concern that promoting an "Abolish ICE" slogan may make Democrats look extreme. And that it could sway ppl toward voting GOP. Similar to what happened with "Defund the police."
ICE does wrong things. So do most gov agencies in this admin.
The last time a US citizen was illegally detained by the US government was six hours ago. And an hour before that, and an hour before that.
This. Is. Crazy.
This is exactly why I told you all the protests from Saturday led to nothing but trouble.
From killings to arrests, you guys are only screwing yourselves over.
Most dems seem to already agree, so the goal needs to be flipping Republican voters.
And I don’t think ‘abolish ICE’ is going to do that.
What about like “free guns for all” then just abolish ice instead.
Lander never had a chance at becoming mayor.

Trump would Federalize them to quell rebellion.
The answer is really obvious at this point that Governors need to go to the People. Directly.
Palantir feeds it.
Algorithms profile.
ICE executes.
This is predictive repression—Minority Report made real.

Oh right, the NYPD. They're part of the problem.
Neighborhood policing by residents 24/7 is going to be the only way to protect people.
Following orders is no excuse
But don’t hold your breath.
Dems say lines,
not hard things,
& they are funded by the oligarchs too, who also fund the police/sheriffs as their personal police forces;
you go after defunding ICE, the entire mob of police will go after you as a candidate
& oligarchs will fund someone else
Look at MPD Mpls, MN “reforms”
All #BTS weaksauce farce.
We need that #BS Citizens United farce overturned = a lawsuit up to the highest court & legit rulings #ForThePeople #TheConstitution
#This moment of violence is a ripe opportunity full of fear to increase “security” “just for the elected officials,” but the words will be written certain ways, & we’ll give an inch…
Regular people coming together is the ONLY defense we have. Then, when it works, a Democrat can swoop in and take credit (and fundraise) off of regular people’s efforts.
If the party wants to win enough to actually have a say in immigration policy, a better platform is moderating ICE’s scope of work to peacefully coexist with the law abiding, assimilated, tax paying migrant community
Otherwise voters will be told (and many will believe) that you’re proposing to wholly abolish immigration enforcement of any kind
"Kidnapp a few less people"
"Rethink terrorizing ALL POC and only do some"
The alternatives don't sound any better.
You can't fix something like ICE because it isn't broken. It's working exactly as intended. That's why we keep losing, because we
A skilled strategist could surely devise packaging to sell a rolling back of warrantless extra-judicial powers while still enforcing immigration law
Need populism and going after the secret police and strongly framing it as such is a strong position
The people that believe ICE are good guys aren’t listening to reasonable people
