DHS needs to go. If we need a CPB, and we probably do, they should stay at the border. All government employees that carry weapons should understand our constitution and take an oath to protect it. It won’t end fascism, but we need as many speed bumps as we can put in their path.
My husband and I live in a blue city on the west coast, a sanctuary city, and all of our immediate neighbors are immigrants. We also have several gay/lesbian close neighbors. It’s terrifying to imagine ICE rolling up.
I mean, I support defunding the police and abolishing ICE. but there’s a lot more support for abolishing ice than there ever was for police abolition. there are polls that show abolishing ice with majority support right now; one poll had it +12 with independent.

Yikes.
Aren't the people who want to get rid of ICE the same people who wanted to "defund" the police a few years ago? Look where that got them...
