Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line. At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia. (Published Nov. 2025)

This is morally bankrupt—and politically disastrous. Trump overreached so far that he's throwing Bovino to the wolves to try to calm the waters. Polls show Abolish ICE is the most popular position on the agency, supported by everyone from Zohran Mamdani to the Catholic Church to Bill fucking Kristol

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE: - 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year), - 29% at least one prior conviction* - 28% at least one pending charge *most common are traffic and immigration offenses.
Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through January 7, 2026. Three lines show prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. The data shows a HUGE spike in the detention of people with no criminal record beginning earlier in the year, to the point where it is now the top group.

This language of learning is very familiar to me. ICE dudes talk about “there will be consequences“ and “I’m not mad, I just want you to know that there will be consequences for crossing this line.” It’s like I’m hearing the voices of every officer’s abusive dads in real time
