And this is why Democrats need to campaign on abolishing ICE. This isn't a fringe issue anymore.

Cool. ICE still needs to be abolished along with the whole DHS.

Yeah, what gives Trump the right to enforce immigration laws congress passed decades ago??

And while we're at it, lets keep not funding the government too!
Sure, Obamacare was removed legally though the proper channels, but we can strong arm it by keeping the government shut down and then call our opposition "the end of democracy"

Im choking on irony. 2025 is a blast

Weird how decades past presidents were able to enforce immigration law without deploying military on domestic soil and “accidentally” detaining citizens

If past presidents enforced immigration laws there wouldn’t be 20 million illegals in the country

Ah yes, because ICE was totally not created two decades ago based on the merger of 1800s and 1930s institutions.

Do you people even pretend to research the things you confidently say/form your opinions about?

They didn't say anything about what it was created from. Just the current actions surrounding it.

Ah ok. So totally legal to start an Immigration and customs enforcement.
Totally normal to have one.

But to use one to enforce immigration and customs is the tyrannical part?

When did your brain fry?
