Reposted by Pablo BravoAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 03/07/2025I 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. 43729652737495
