From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

CURTAIL ICE. It needs root and branch reform. Did you know that criminality within CBP is so rampant that in every 24-36 hours one of its agents is arrested? ALSO: The US is currently holding 3 times as many people in immigrant detention as the Nazis were holding in concentration camps in Spring 1939, which was six years into the 3rd Reich? Did you know that more people died of disease and hunger in Nazi Concentration camps than were gassed? Have you heard the reports on the conditions inside ICE "detention centres"-- have you done oversight and visited? Did you know measles has been reported in Dilley? Did you know ICE agents and Mike Johnson are LYING OUTRIGHT about laws governing judicial versus administrative warrants? Did you watch yesterday's senate testimony from Americans brutalised and detained by ICE? ICE IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT. ICE IS NOT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. Ice is now an occupying army; ICE is a tool of ethnic cleansing. ICE is a breaker of laws, a shredder of rights, a violator of the constitution you swore to uphold. ICE is also--if no arguments for decency and law sway you-- a money sink. Who is going to pay for all the law suits against it. And you still voted to fund it?
