I Will Not Stop Calling ICE What It Is

To: Sen. Padilla, Rep. Carbajal, Sen. Schiff

From: A verified voter in Lompoc, CA

July 8, 2025

Tom Homan demands Americans stop calling ICE racist. But I won’t stop. In fact, I will go one step further: When an agency rounds people up based on ethnicity, detains them in inhumane conditions, strips them of rights, separates families, and instills fear in entire communities — I call that fascism. I call that cruelty. I call that morally indistinguishable from the tactics of Nazis. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. ICE has become a rogue, lawless institution. It disappears people without due process. It refuses oversight. It empowers predators under the guise of enforcement. And now, its defenders want silence instead of accountability. No. We will not be silent. NEITHER SHOULD YOU!
