Democratic Party Official Position is to Abolish ICE

“We support a well-trained, effective, and professional border patrol agency. Clearly, ICE has failed that standard in every respect. We will create a new agency to protect our borders, uphold the law, and diligently serve our nation. Agents will be proud of their work, and won’t need to hide their faces or identity, or be ashamed of their actions. No longer will rouge masked agents terrorize our communities.”

I think this is stellar. And I did understand you simply transposed “rouge” for “rogue”.

Is there any way you can get this statement verbatim into the inboxes of the Democratic Party? I truly encourage you to do so!

As several have said “Abolish ICE” is nearly as bad as “Defund the Police”.

This is a baseless opinion. Sure, it’s fine to have those – I have them too. But don’t expect anyone else to accept it as anything more than a baseless opinion from an internet stranger.

Read here, some posters want all ICE personnel to be fired and/or arrested, leaving nothing to perform those duties ICE did under Biden and Obama. That is what many would call “Abolish ICE”.

We’re going to need to hire a bunch of new people to do that regardless.

100%. I think making that explicit in the statement about the plan makes it more difficult for the right-wing machine to pretend otherwise.

The Dems can cut back the Budget for ICE early next yeah. Then ICE will have to get rid of all those excess Agents and it will not be able to fund that kinds of raids it has been doing.

Really? They’ll definitely control both chambers of congress and be able to pass anything they want? You’re making waaaaaaay too many assumptions here.
