Sen. Bernie Sanders also demanded “fundamental reforms” to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, saying they are “terrorizing” US communities.
US Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday demanded the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller—a key architect of Donald Trump’s violent mass deportation campaign—as well as concrete reforms in exchange for any new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In remarks on the Senate floor, Sanders (I-Vt.) called ICE a “domestic military force” that is “terrorizing” communities across the country. The senator pointed specifically to the agency’s ongoing activities in Minnesota and Maine, where officers have committed horrific—and deadly—abuses.
Sanders said that “not another penny should be given” to ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “unless there are fundamental reforms in how those agencies function—and until there is new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security and among those who run our immigration policy.” The senator has proposed repealing a $75 billion ICE funding boost that the GOP approved last summer, an end to warrantless arrests, the unmasking of ICE and CBP agents, and more.



Been saying it for a long time now, we gotta primary every last DNC member holding a seat. They’re all either complicit or neutered to the point of uselessness.
I love Bernie but this obviously isn’t his fight. He’s been about economics for like, 400 years, and just economics and it’s fine, but he’s not going to lead us out of fascism. He needs to go rest and enjoy retirement.
The DNC is a container full of rotten old money and establishment-preserving collaborators with the GOP. We pour the container out, freshen it up with some new contents.
it would be like draining a swamp, so to speak /s
