Could not agree more- we need more government officials calling for this- After hopefully a blue tsunami, I hope it is 1. Abolish ICE, 2. IMPEACH and CONVICT, and 3. Strong regulation on AI and leadership on worldwide enforceable agreements on regulating it.

If you need any extra motivation to make sure you're registered & have a plan to vote (iwillvote.com), here's one: ICE remains out of control, & has an endless list of horrible ideas Like: Grabbing ppl & sticking them in 'snatch vans' for who knows how long. Food, water, etc? Eh, details, details

ICE is looking into 'mobile detention facilities'
Buried in the paperwork for Immigration and Customs Enforcement's expansion in Pennsylvania is a document requesting "mobile detention facilities."

Opinion | Trump is threatening to deploy ICE to polling places in our city. So we're suing him.
Armed federal agents at voting locations would strike at the heart of our ability to hold free and fair elections, write Denver's mayor and clerk and recorder.

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election. Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”
