Michigan Democratic Congressman Shri Thanedar has followed through on his plans to introduce the Abolish ICE Act, which is a legislative attempt to dismantle the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

His office issued the announcement on Jan. 9 and initiated the process on Jan. 15 for the bill registered as H.R. 7123. The bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee, the Homeland Security Committee and the Ways and Means Committee.

Such a bill would need to get the support of both the Republican-led House and Senate, then go to President Trump for a signature to become effective. But the Trump administration has been defending ICE’s recent actions, including the fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis.

    Stop being purposely stupid. You know for a fact that a lot of democrats (in positions of power) are right wing and don’t give a single fuck about anyone other than their wallets.

      Hey, all I said was the bill needed bipartisan support, because more than half is red, and the president has to agree to sign it, who won’t. Get a fucking grip. Yeah, your whole political system is a joke, whatcha gonna do about it?
