Gallego: "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals and focuses on criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Donald Trump."

dems are rightly dubious of what the rabid right can & will do if dems start calling for ‘defund.’ it gets spun into ‘anti-law’ by the #LIARS on the right & blown up into fear-mongering by the anti-democracy regime state media. #ReformICE : $200 billion is waaay over the top. or ‘defang’ perhaps?

Think there's a lot of conversation about training issues, but the root of the problem appears to be vetting. Serious character flaws cannot be trained away.

We also want more immigration judges and courts so people seeking citizenship aren't in limbo for years. The 2024 bipartisan immigration bill would have cut waiting time to 6 weeks rather than years. Those denied would leave, those approved would work towards full citizenship.

Ernst Röhm, leader of Hitler's Brownshirts, showed how to build an fascist paramilitary: recruit men selected for their propensity for violence and loyalty to a leader, then grant them immunity, a free hand to terrorize opponents, and pay far better wages. This helped propel the Nazis to power.

Democrats need to stop worrying about offending people. We’re at a point in life where we, the people, need to know exactly which side of history you stand on. There’s no middle ground right now—it’s either pro-freedom or pro-fascism.

People argue that Ms Good was armed in that she was using her car as a weapon. Totally disagree but let's move on to ask 1) why no joint investigation, 2) what justification to let her bleed out with no immediate first aid and 3) why did Ross leave and drive away?

They should absolutely do everything they can to both elevate Miller's stature and imply that he's puppeteering Trump and is the real power. Normal human beings find him repulsive.

The problem with talking about "criminals" is that some people think that just being from a different country makes you a criminal. We need to tear down more than just ice. Prejudice against immigrants has to go too

Note to other Dems: This is a cautious centrist senator from a border state calling for abolishing ICE, not a pink-haired campus radical. It's probably a safe position for the entire party to advocate.

I remember the DHS ad that stated they were focused on gangs from the hood. They won’t attack the hoods, because the gangs would shoot them. All bravado but lots of BS from that group.

Absolutely Gallego! Impeach Noem Abolish Ice and Bovino Start over This agency can not be reformed it's been corrupted by cruel immoral thugs The money, lack of training and corrupt backgrounds of these people have lured the worst of society to this agency Giving decent LEO's a huge black eye.

This reminds me of the arrest stance for prostitution. Arrest the prostitutes, occasionally their ‘Johns’ but never the guy getting the blowjob or whatever else he is paying for.

THAT is solid messaging on ICE. Ackowledge the need for some immigration enforcement, but limited in scope and not from the paramilitary monster Miller created. Obama was “deporter in chief”, which was suboptimal, but we didn’t have the atmosphere of chaos, oppression and fear we have now
