26. The solution I support is relatively simple
Sat Dec 6, 2025, 04:31 PM
Saturday

Abolish ICE. It isn't like the police departments that seem like they have been around forever, ICE was started under Bush Jr and in fact it is a lot of Bush era policies that are enabling Trump the most to govern like a fascist.

ICE has been abducting, incarcerating, and deporting people before they started wearing masks. I think there has to be more of a solution than to unmask ICE (not directed at you but at the politicians in office or running for office).

I know at this point it isn't likely to happen but it is something for a future Democratic administration to consider.
