The problem is Democratic fecklessness—and it isn’t limited to just the future of ICE. Dismantling the ICE regime needs to be the floor, not the ceiling, and any Democrat in Congress who doesn’t get with the program can—and should—be replaced in the primaries.

We can abolish ICE by the end of January. We can shut down any more talk of invading other countries. And we can force the immediate release of the Epstein files. By demanding congress filibuster to shut down the government until our demands are met.
We need a new model to fight ICE — including having local prosecutors indict its agents for murder, assault, and false arrests based on evidence.

At the heart of this test lie two irreconcilable viewpoints: those who align themselves with armed agents and the task of protecting America from the “enemy within,” and those who embrace compassion for others. Between those with the guns, and those with the whistles.

The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

Renee Good, like many Palestinians before her, died because authoritarian forces decided she did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder.

An analysis by The New York Times of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.
The agents who shot Renee Nicole Good shot her because they knew they could; they shot her because the Trump administration has specifically and purposely empowered law enforcement to act without impunity or care.

The only thing that definitively clears suspicion for ICE is biometric identification. The presumption is that people may lie, documents may be forged, but biometric scans are objective and certain. People are guilty until an algorithm proves them innocent.
