El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Exactly! Why so many in Michigan chose instead to go for a strange unhinged-sounding goblin lady instead of a guy who (as the kids say) spits out one banger after another, I'll never understand. I only started following the Michigan race 2-3 months ago, and immediately it was clear who we needed.

I absolutely agree with you! The people who attacked our Capitol & the peaceful transfer of power declared war on our Constitution! They don’t deserve to live in this country anymore & now especially since they were given a second chance! Those are the truly bad people the ones who violated our

What's the name of Pretti's murderer? Do you know? I have not heard. And address would be good too. And WHY is a murderer out on the streets? Every other murderer has an immediate dragnet to get the person off the street.

ICE cannot be replaced because of Immigration to US will have to be approved by the convicted felon. Those who pay Donny, will get entry into the country.

Not "abolish" as such ... rewrite and enforce with laws that can't/will not allow another fascist like Trump to take over the country. I know what he means ... but the Constitution assumes people of character will embrace and enforce it. No; Republicans ignored it. Must be fool-proofed.

(The stronger view is full mass prosecutions of every bit of shit they did remotely illegal along with lifetime blackballing every CPB/ICE office names from ever joining ANY LEO from fed down to local PDs ever ever again.)

If I were in charge, everyone responsible for doing this evil to innocent men, women & children would get a nice public trial, followed soon after by a nice public execution. I'd do 'em Handmaid's Tale style, since that's their kink apparently.

ICE agents, especially those hired under trump, need to also have their status as federal employees removed so they don’t qualify for new federal positions as ”career transitions,” which gives them more points/advantage over other applicants.

ICE/CBP are like a rabid dog. Once it's in 'em, you can't train rabies out of a dog. It's time to take Old Yeller behind the corn crib.

And we who oppose this evil need to be ready for the shitheads who screech "WHAT - DO YOU WANT OPEN BORDERS WITH NO ENFORCEMENT?!" No shitheads - as Abdul said here, we DO want lawful humane control of our sovereign borders and for actual dangerous people stopped, but NOT Gestapo eugenics shit!

Just eliminate the DHS created by Bush the Dumber based on the most anti-Constitutional Law any President ever rammed through Congress, The Patriot Act, and was designed to provide Republicans with thousands of patronage jobs for campaign workers. Democrats of the time voted for it by the scores

Please do all you can to encourage other Michiganders to vote for Dr. El Sayed- he is better than the GOP opponent who will only vote for more of the same of what we currently have. I'm not sure how ppl can say they would rather vote against him or sit out the election with him as the candidate🤔.

I mean, it's not like we don't have plenty of concentration camps, I mean "housing" for former ICE employees and officials. We could provide them with 3 slices of moldy bread and a nice concrete floor to sleep on for the next, oh, let's say, 8 to 12 years. OR, now hear me out, send them to Zambia.

It's next to impossible to transform a bureaucracy's defining culture by "retraining." The problem with ICE is systemic and goes to its recruiting bigots and thugish men resistant to 'book learnin' to put on the street. Immigration enforcement DOES need a ground-up rebuild..

ICE = Immigration Customs Enforcement INS = Immigration Naturalization Service Let’s get back to government as services and away from a police state

Dissolve the Department of Homeland Security entirely. We didn't need it before 2003, and we need it even less by 2026. It wasn't a pillar of national security with a glorious history, but merely a 20-year-old subsidiary.

I like El Sayed, but he doesn't have a prayer in the General. Why, well because he's Muslim, and white Americans automatically think negative thoughts about Muslims. It's a sad truth. Sure, sometimes it happens, but it's rare. I am contributing to his campaign, hoping I'm wrong.

Let's hope you're wrong. They said the same thing about Obama. Then he won two consecutive terms. The racist orange guy lost one between. A zionist carcass filled the gap while The Heritage Foundation built a new Death Star.

You may not be aware of this, but Harris lost Michigan because there were so many pissed of Muslim voters there that her refusing to publicly disavow supporting Israel cost her their votes. Michigan is it's own thing. If he were in Iowa, yeah he'd be cooked. In MI there's a lot of Arab voters.

These accounts that follow and are followed by 10K+ are all bots right, only explanation for thinking anyone wants or needs these pointless doomer takes

I like him too, but I don't agree that he doesn't have a chance. I definitely agree that the primary results very clearly show that he isn't very exciting to voters. He needs to take a very good look at his policies. Otherwise he'll lose and he'll deserve it.

New York City is not like any other place in the U.S., with the possible exception of San Francisco. NYC is probably the single most diverse large city in America, and you can never base any political prediction on outcomes elsewhere, from what happens there. I love N.Y., but it's a crazy place!

If Racism is so strong that it overcomes Gas Prices, ICE, Iran, and the starting Recession then America deserves what it'll get. I'd rather prove America unsalvagable with candidates that want to do better than continue this 100 year zombie walk into the grave.

The fact that he did so well against a highly financed White woman makes me think he has a chance. Madami has proven that some people can get past their bigotry. It isn't the South, where the bigotry hwould be even stronger.

Abolish? He's clearly softening his stance for a more general election. Prosecute. Convict. Sentence to death, maybe. Abolish just leaves them free to victimize others.

Abolish it, dismiss all field agents from both law enforcement and government service with *irrevocable* prejudice, then prosecute the leadership and agents in a modern day Nuremberg Trial. Then bring back the Immigration and Naturalization Service, who are just lawyers and advocates.

"What do you want to replace it with?" You mean, the organization killing our citizens?? Why tf would we need an organization like that at all?? Dumb ass news anchors...

Abolishment is not enough. Everyone who joined ice needs to be out on trial, convicted for their crimes and jailed. Publically. Very very publically. Hell the politicians who voted to FUND ice need to be put on trial.

How about hiring more immigration judges to process claims of asylum in 6 weeks instead of 6 years. Make filing in their home countries easier and processed quicker. ICE is not going after criminals and people here illegally, they are going after legal immigrants who are doing their checkins etc..

cadet Bonespurtz's gonna "FIGHT LIKE HELL!!!" to Make Certain His ICEStapo is STILL AROUND For November Third: bsky.app/profile/kimi...

Well, this is only PART of the reason ICE is murdering folks. Other reasons: 1/ To see how much murder and mayhem they can cause without provoking meaningful pushback. 2/ To normalize government violence. 3/ In preparation for violently blocking ppl from voting in elections.

spot-On, noah Violence these Far reich wing- Nuts KNOW how to Handle but if it all comes Down TO It on 11/3 our Leaders better Have a Plan in Place or the melee'll make J/6 look like a quiet little girl scout outing maybe that's Precisely what our Constitutional Traitors are setting up even now

I’ve always supported AIPAC and the security of Israel. But if they crash our Blue Wave in November, I will think twice about supporting any candidate they fund in the future. I feel very strongly against them destroying our Blue Wave. #VoteAbdul #AIPAC #USDemocracy #VotoLatino

Time to unshackle from isreal. They want Palestinians dead and gone. They kill and then use the Semite tag if anyone objects. Get isreal out of US politics.

No, we should not start from scratch. Abolish ICE and stop there. Its main function, of roaming the interior of the country to round up undocumented people for deportation, should not be done by any agency.

Throw out the Homeland Security Act and the Patriot Act. Both were sold to us as protective measures from *external* threats to the American people, but only turned the federal government into a greater *internal threat* to the American people, in classic fascist fashion.

As a retired NYPD Detective I can testify that whenever police are given additional authority, power or weaponry- they abuse it immediately and take it to the umpteenth degree in escalation until lawsuits and the courts kick in. Now, a corrupt SCOTUS has created entities who are above the law.

It's hard enough to find people once ice gets them, the people with nobody looking for them are just fucking gone. It's going to be like after WWII when citizens had to be walked through the death camps and refused to believe it was real, the few reports from detention centers are horrific.

they are bragging they took over 50K people into custody in July and honestly where are all of them considering the thousands taken each month, are some just driven to airfields & flown to wherever & the media seems almost afraid to question any of it, they just report it like the weather

We will still be digging up mass graves two decades from now. We may very well never know the full extent of the horrors that are occurring across America right now.

We need immigration, we don't need the militarized racist violent organization created in response to 9/11. Trump made them worse, but they've been awful since their inception.

I am older than ICE and I'm only 34, pretty sure we'd get by just fine without it and sending immigration enforcement to dhs to be handled primarily by lawyers and the like instead of violent racists with guns.

Not before every member is exposed, and even if they are immune from prosecution, their crimes and cruelty publicised. Shine a bright light on the fuckers.

We should tear up the freaking patriot act that Rs rammed through because they knew damn well few Dems would be willing to squack after 9/11. It was the origins of the police state seeing its glorious fruition 25 yrs on.

ICE didn’t exist before 9/11. We have CBP. If republicans had stood up to trump & passed the bipartisan immigration bill in 2024, we wouldn’t be where we are now, with ice thugs abducting & imprisoning people w/o due process & murdering people. Hate rules our country now. 😔

GOP believe that the richest country in the world should be THE CRUELEST country in the world is f'd Closing American safety-nets, SNAP & Medicaid, denying life saving Aid to other countries & cruelty to as many powerless people as possible That's not how freedom, or decency, or ANY religion works

DEFUND ICE NOW send them home they NEVER did what they claimed they would NEVER deported the worst of the worst - immigrants here illegally convicted of crimes here - yes deport those people But THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY DO they deport asylum families back to dangerous places, killed when they return

He said go back to the INS, which did the same work before ICE was created. I believe that the entire system needs to be fixed. We need immigrants to do work that USA citizens either won’t do or which we don’t have enough people to handle. The question is how to get the people we want here and

keep the ones that we don’t want out. Neither ICE nor Border Patrol are doing an effective job at accomplishing that. We have to rethink the entire process instead of continuing to do stuff that is not working. Finding people that we want here without that system being corrupted is hard, but we

He’s not suggesting no immigration enforcement arm; he’s acknowledging this agency is FUBAR. It’s not extreme to call for dissolution of an agency that is relatively young, very corrupt, and unaccountable—and that careful planning and guardrails should be cornerstones of its replacement.

Not sure the people who take Rogers framing at face value are “independents.” For me, there are way too many variables in this race to predict an outcome. But, I hope El-Sayed wins. I think MI is looking for someone who inspires hope.

Defunding anything becomes a huge corporate bullshit.

Most people stick to the things that they know. I am not Omniscient/Omnipotent, don't get it twisted, if you didn't kill me & tried that is your Ass. Hold on to the things that bring you comfort and joy. Jesus Christ brings me comfort, Spiritually&When in GOD's house Physically: I can sleep. 🗽🦁✝️

“Abolishing ICE” sounds like an extreme idea, but it is actually very realistic. We simply have to remove it from DHS and give it back to the State Department where it was called INS. Moreover, several congressional reviews have concluded that DHS is also a failure. The goal was to connect the…

When low-info people hear "ABOLISH ICE" or "DEFUND THE POLICE" they think it means "TOTAL ANARCHY NO LAW ENFORCEMENT EVER AGAIN!" It's annoying to have to add nuance to a slogan but sadly necessary. These slogans don't mean "we demand anarchy" but rather "replace a corrupt system with a lawful one"

Totally. Which sad since ICE is more expensive than INS, less efficient, and doesn’t make us safer. So, express it in terms of efficiency and effectiveness for making people safe while also focusing on the danger and threat to freedoms. = return to old system to save $ and protect liberty.

…FBI and CIA so they could share information about domestic threats by foreign terrorists. But, that never happened. The FBI and CIA are not in DHS and communication between agencies got worse instead of better after DHS was created. In short, the U.S. would be safer without DHS and we’d save $.

Feel free to explain. During a fiscal crisis, couldn’t people be convinced to return to the old system (INS) to save money and lower taxes? It just needs to be marketed right. BTW I can remember people telling me that it wasn’t realistic to legalize marijuana or gay marriage, but here we are.

If we come together and work together, we can pull the weeds that threaten to destroy our land! I hope and pray you understand. We cannot reap a good harvest with a bunch of bad seeds!

Tear down the entire Department of Homeland Security. We didn't need it before 2003, we certainly do not need it in 2026. This is not some vital pillar of our national security with a illustrious history - it's a 20 year old add on.

*sad former Coast Guard, TSA and CISA employee noises* But on a more serious note, we could've just added some of these agencies into existing ones instead of making it complicated. Give TSA to the State Department, give the USCG to Defense Department, give CISA to the CIA, and so on.

Same. I also remember we were shouted down both online and in public spaces when we broached our concerns for being "anti-American".

You'll never remove these parasitic entities that prop up the military industrial complex unless you address the root causes - namely our servitude to the wealth class. You need an aggressive progressive taxation policy to destroy the class that is enriched by the MIC and these policies.

After what we've all seen the majority would agree. Abolish ICE, they've been trouble from the start. In trump world they've shown themselves to be his private para-military svc, hooligan terrorists who terrorize & kill in cities across the country. Yes, build from scratch a respectable agency.

Yes, bcoz ICE is enforcing the DEFUNCT, racist, KKK-inspired 1927 Immigration Act dredged up by Stephen Miller and no longer on the books ; NOT the current 1963 Immigration Act. The old law used quotas linked to WHITE population numbers, requiring >90% WHITE U.S. population demographics
