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.
You think the party that has deported more people in the last 16 years than all other years combined and gave one of the largest increases of federal funding to ICE is gonna eliminate them? Democrats love building up a police state as much as Republicans
Weird metric, 16 years ago was 2010. Since then democrats have held the presidency for 11 of those years.
Measuring how many people were deported by each administration is a better metric. The most accurate would be to further break that down per year.
Also, while I don’t agree with how we handle undocumented immigrants deportation has been the law for well over 80 years.
Today’s issue is how the president is going about immigration enforcement. Mass deployment and mass deportation ignoring basic rights and due process. Deporting people to 3rd party nations to be placed in camps. These things are new and have made a bad situation significantly worse.
That’s even still ignoring the rapid increase in murders being committed by federal officials and all the people that have simply disappeared
Where do I discredit that statement in what I said?
