ICE has been terrorizing our communities and now has murdered two people, on camera, before the world. The agents who committed these murders must be held accountable, and congress must stop funding this scourge on our country.

Projecting the impact and costs of near point-of-care tuberculosis screening assays in community-based active case finding
Community-based active case finding (ACF) may reduce tuberculosis incidence and mortality but is not widely implemented due to resource constraints. How novel screening test characteristics would affect the impact and costs of ACF strategies is not clear.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
