Let's stop pretending. DHS/ICE is not about law enforcement. It is a criminal conspiracy to kidnap, imprison, and abuse innocent people for private profit. It is wildly over-funded for untrained violence, confinement, and military cosplay, and wildly underfunded for due process and the rule of law.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms

With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.
