Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.

    Am I the only one that thinks if they can get ICE to follow the laws and have recordings would be a positive change?

    Not negotiating and leaving all as is right now seems worse

      I’m sure that you’ve got some good company there like Henry Cuellar, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Tom Suozzi, and the others who are naive enough to think you’d get ICE to follow laws they already aren’t following and not murdering American citizens if they only had body cams when one of them was literally filming his execution with his camera while violating SOP.

      First, there is no reason I can see to think that ICE will follow the new laws they pass. They are not following the law now. Second, why would cameras make a difference? We have clear video evidence in at least two murders committed by ICE and there has been now action taken to prosecute or even reprimand the murderers.

      The only viable option for the democrats in Congress is to use the GOP playbook and extort the administration by shutting the government down until they comply.

      if they can get ICE to follow the laws

      They can’t though, and to think that’s a possibility seriously misunderstands the situation.

      The point of a fascist death squad is not to follow the law. If they’d intended to follow the law, they wouldn’t have created illegal anonymous death squads with no oversight and free rein to attack whoever they want.

      Recordings or body cams will change nothing. They all know there’s a hundred cameras pointed at them when they do something and they do it anyway, they know there is no accountability.
