I don’t want to see one more call for “better training.” ICE officers need DESK JOBS. That is what civil enforcement is supposed to be. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/10/09/n...

‘Normalize Bad Tactics’: ICE Keeps Shooting at People in Cars

ICE creates dangerous situations in public to enforce civil laws. Why are they allowed to carry guns + make street arrests? I support transparency, accountability, independent investigations + abolishing ICE. NONE OF THIS STOPS THE SHOOTINGS NOW.

I’ve been saying this since Romesa’s abduction on the streets of Somerset. NONE of this looks like legitimate law enforcement. Anyone would do exactly what Mr. Belgal did. ICE is using the tactics of criminals.

We also think the public (+ detained ppl) deserve to know whether the costs of basic items like aspirin, underwear, deodorant, or phone calls are going up or down. Why can't they have remote video visits with their loved ones, when the jail already has the technology?

They admitted to a gap in commissary services. I spoke to someone at jail this morning who said one knew how long it would take to get fixed. Now jail says it will be resolved Oct 1. Public deserves answers to basic questions: Why didn't they keep Access Corrections running until JailATM was live?

"Further, the military attacks have focused on cocaine and not addressed the primary cause of drug overdose deaths in the United States, fentanyl and opioids, which are largely not transported by sea from Venezuela. Moreover, in killing low-level, “replaceable” suspects, the attacks have thwarted evidence gathering on cartel structures, which would facilitate their systemic disruption, asset seizures, and the prosecution of their leaders."
