ICE has become the private army of Donald Trump—doing his bidding with impunity, including the killing, injury and brutalization of American citizens and lawful immigrants. This is a major advance of fascism in our country—like the brown shirts in Germany—and must be stopped. Up to this point , the US military and federal law enforcement worked to enforce the law, not a vindictive president’s outspoken thirst for revenge. Congress must cut ICE funding, either in special action or in the upcoming budget extension. Protect America and American democracy by slashing ICE funding now.
