This Funding Bill is Pointless [View all]
I think it's important to clear up some confusion that the propaganda weasels in the new media are ignoring. The current fight over DHS funding is theater to make everyone feel better and feel like Congress is doing something.
Even if they don't come to any agreement, hell even if they refused to fund them for the next two years, it would not impact their ability to operate.
They are fully funded through 2029 because of the Big Bullshit Bill.
They need to abolish ICE. That's it. That is the only way you fix this. Abolish ICE and fire everyone.
Unless that is on the table they all can all fuck fight off. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
That you can watch them attacking people, murdering people in cold blood and go "let's just give them the same engagement rules as regular police" like that fucking matters. Police have been out here harassing, beating, torturing, murdering and raping people since the beginning, especially Black and brown folk, and when one is actually held accountable, it's so rare that it makes not just national but international news. That image of that ICE agent standing over Alex Pretti with his gun to his head and knowing THEY SHOT HIM TEN TIMES IN THE BACK AND IN HIS HEAD, in broad daylight, in front of people filming, tells me they have been told they are untouchable. Also, the shooters were not new recruits but both have been with ICE for several years.
The type of solutions they are offering are not worth the paper they are written on.
ABOLISH ICE.
