Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Schumer and Jeffries almost have their strongly worded letter written.
They limited the letter to ONE please and thank you and even escalated by threatening to contain ZERO in the next one.
As soon as their unpaid intern gets back with coffee they'll have him draft a toothless letter and drop it right in the mailbox.
It's in the print queue, right after the MAGA health plan.
Newsom out there supporting ICE.
If you don't use punctuation properly it can send the wrong message.
We always see a handful of people in the party champion the rational policy. And then the leadership turns on them like lupus. The most corrupt and despicable Democrats lynching the healthy and popular members.
This is why Mamdani gives me hope, but the rest of the country is not New York.
He's definitely the silver lining around the turd cloud.
Remember, the best way to get rid of ICE is to use heaters.
I've seen some examples, which while a bit gregarious, use direct flame contact to remove ice.
Microwave defrost
i just got a vision of a future headline
"House Democrat Legislation Fails to Abolish ICE"
i'm literally nostradamus
As we both know if they don’t hold a majority it won’t go anywhere.
If they don’t have a super majority then when it hits trumps desk it will die.
It won't even get a headline when it goes nowhere.
Why are my own representatives fucking SILENT on this. I'm going to get some signs with my name and address and confront ICE where they live, whenever the ICE list gets released. I'm going to handcuff myself and wear a sign loudly proclaiming who I am and dare them to arrest me.
We'll see how that goes.
And Border Patrol! They are the unaccountable paramilitary organization led & staffed by fanatical loyalists to a single leader, lawlessly occupying & brutalizing & terrorizing minorities and the population centers of his political opponents. They've lost all legitimacy.
The entire DHS needs to go. TSA is also useless.
What about coast gaurd or secret service?
CG should be under DoD any way. SS can be moved under the DoJ or whatever.
It’s tougher to abolish ICE after you’ve just voted to continue funding them. Maybe that last one should have been a “no” eh?
Until they arrest Trump and remove him from office nothing is going to change. And if Congress ain't got the balls to do it I guess it's up to the people now.
Hear hear!
While I hope it passes, I don't belive it will. ICE could have been defunded for decades by them. They chose not to because of "scary brown people" and "tough on crime". Biden didn't want it removed, Harris didn't want it removed, so the main leaders won't let this happen.
I would love to have every member of ICE detained for mass treason but I'll settle for every single one of them publicly humiliated and stripped everything. No kindness should exist for fascists.
This needs to happen.
Horrible HORRIBLE news!
-Democratic Leadership!
LMAO… good luck with that.
Could happen. Outside of DC ICE is massively unpopular.
