Pretty much everyone already understands that but it's good to see politicians say it out loud for a change.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Chicago and all the places need to do construction in front of every facility used by ice. Get it torn up and if federal road funds come through then get it fixed up if the weather cooperates.
Schools? No, that won't be federal. Healthcare? No that won't be federal. Social Security? You guessed it, that won't be federal.
Racial, sexual, gender repression? Oh yeah we are going international with that shit. We will wreck your economy, and ours, to make you more racist.
God bless the United States of America
He ain't wrong. But there's still a big question of what he's going to do about it.
Will the Chicago PD defend its citizens from this unlawful armed incursion? Will the Illinois National Guard step up? Can the citizens defend themselves from this authoritarian violence? And will Pritzker lead his people in opposition to a military occupation of their largest city?
I think he should dispatch Illinois National Guard units for each Federal officer in his city, 1:1. Their only orders should be to trail ICE and other officers with body cams. Do not do anything else. Stream it online, on real time. Make sure people know what is happening.
There’s a section in the IL constitution that creates a “state guard,” which can be activated by the governor, separate from National Guard.
The CPD has a reputation of authoritarian violence
And like other police forces going after minorities
This is not an "Immigration Crackdown," this is an invasion of your own peaceful city. Patrolling tourist areas is only trying to hurt the city.
Didnt the supreme court literally green light this?
well a court did but IDK if I'd call them supreme, they human like us, hint hint nudge nudge
In their opinion, the best of all reasons to harrass someone.
Isn't that like half their job–the other half being kidnappings terrorism?
I'm getting a bit fed up with this, if I'm honest. We know he's a kiddie-fiddler, as probably are most powerful people, and no-one apparently cares enough to do anything about it now. Why does anyone think releasing the files will change that?
Let's focus on the shit he's doing right now.
Trump is shifting fully to collapsing the Republic into a fascist dictatorship. This is the main story now, not a distraction.
Eh, you try being brown and see how you feel about this being labeled as a simple "distraction"
The ICE campaign of terror is not a distraction, in the sense that it is meant to draw attention away from something else. It is a primary ambition -- perhaps the primary ambition -- of this administration. Remember those "MASS DEPORTATION NOW" signs people were holding up at the Republican National Convention?
It is also unsympathetic to those being abused by ICE to call their plight a "distraction". No! It's something we need to pay attention to and put a stop to!
I have them tagged as a troll
