Fine, I did it myself: As of 1/21 evening, 14 Democratice Members of Congress support abolishing ICE, including @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social, who used the term "disband" on @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's show. Four more have supported abolishing ICE in the past. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Can someone point me to any databases that track the Senators and Representatives that support abolishing ICE and/or no new funding to ICE?

Any senate/rep candidates you can gather? (Lander, etc)

@colorbombvelma.bsky.social

Yo, @rephuffman.bsky.social why’s your name not on here?

Please feel free to send me any press releases, interviews, survery, etc. that I have missed. If I have free time, I will also fill out which Members of Congress support *defunding* ICE (very tricky technicality, many bills flying around!) and which 75 "expressed gratitude" to ICE last year.

damn I couldn't even spell "Democratic" correctly, I've been running on five hours of sleep.

Thank you @the-downballot.com for making their Members of Congress spreadsheet template freely available for me to remix. If only y'all could get off Substack...

1/22 MORNING UPDATE: Good methodology suggestion from @rikleen.bsky.social. I created a separate asterisked category for Members of Congress who have called to "dismantle" or "disband" ICE (e.g. @repnikema.bsky.social), or have shown past support but not renewed it. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Methodology recommendation: Don't include anyone pre-Nov 2020 (except to acknowledge their retreat on the issue). Before Biden got elected, even Gillibrand had said Abolish ICE. Everyone stopped immediately after election day. Between then and 1/7/26, I believe AOC is the only one to say it.

Nikema Williams say it’s time to “dismantle” - another variation on the theme 😵‍💫 bsky.app/profile/repn...

Congresswoman Nikema Williams@repnikema.bsky.social

It’s time to dismantle ICE, we cannot continue to fund reckless terror. I will NOT be supporting DHS funding for the lawless, dangerous, and murderous ICE.

Noticing there's an outright majority of women of color on this list. That they are holding the moral center of politics in this country is incredibly unsurprising.

As of today, the only white Member of Congress calling to abolish ICE is @repmcgovern.bsky.social, who represents central Massachusetts. bsky.app/profile/alex...

1/23 PM UPDATE: 11 Members of Congress have called for "abolishing" ICE. Five more Members of Congress have called for "dismantling" or "disbanding" ICE; four other Members of Congress have called for abolishing ICE in 2018 but have not yet renewed their commitment in 2026.

I'm sorry where the fuck is Angie Craig?! Gah! This is just pathetic. If my partner hadn't already gone to bed I would leave her another voicemail.

Cortez masto is yes to fund ice

@vegavannah.bsky.social

I’m sure. I may as well have voted for Trump with those 2 assholes as senators.

Surprised by Yvette Clark .

@jamielynnkitten.bsky.social

And the rest of them need to speak up or be ousted. Those are the only options.

@etmaag.bsky.social

Thanks for putting this together. Disappointed to not see @repnikema.bsky.social @ossoff.bsky.social nor @warnock.senate.gov on the list.

@wesley.theatl.social

She wrote 2 hours ago about dismantling ICE so arguably she should be? bsky.app/profile/repn...

Congresswoman Nikema Williams@repnikema.bsky.social

I will not vote to fund DHS while ICE—Trump’s secret police—continues its terror campaign. Americans deserve a lawful, accountable government. Impeach Secretary Kristi Noem, dismantle ICE, stop the violence—then we can talk about funding.
