Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) is making a push to dismantle Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), calling the federal law enforcement agency “beyond reform.”
Thanedar plans to introduce the “Abolish ICE Act” this week, which his office said would dissolve the agency and end its enforcement authority. “We must reform ICE, but it looks at this stage, folks, that ICE is beyond reform,” he said during a news conference Wednesday. “ICE is totally out of control.”
He also said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should “face the consequences” and be impeached, arguing federal agencies were able to handle immigration enforcement effectively before ICE was established in 2003.
“We can do this without ICE,” Thanedar said. “We do not need the murders. We do not need this paramilitary organization’s members on our streets terrorizing U.S. citizens, terrorizing moms [and] terrorizing our children.”

Why are my own representatives fucking SILENT on this. I’m going to get some signs with my name and address and confront ICE where they live, whenever the ICE list gets released. I’m going to handcuff myself and wear a sign loudly proclaiming who I am and dare them to arrest me.
We’ll see how that goes.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
