Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol βCommander at Largeβ and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and βadviserβ Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officialsβ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.
Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when theyβre murdered, but thatβs what happens when youβre in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment"
But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.
This canβt be repeated enough. Not only wonβt they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
So.
To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.
Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.
Across America and the world, people are realizing itβs not possible to appease Americaβs dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him β and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.
Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."
