On Tuesday, Reps. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) and Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) urged fellow Democrats to support the Melt ICE Act. Unlike those in her party who want to amend Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Ramirez’s proposed legislation would essentially end immigrant detention and monitoring under DHS while returning taxpayer dollars to the communities impacted by ICE.

We need a Saving American Lives Today (SALT) Act, to melt the ICE.

What are we doing for TWO YEARS? We don't need to slowly melt ice, we need to crush it now.

I just read that if ICE continues killing people at this accelaration, it'll be 100 dead by the end of the year.
Not to speak of people beaten, deported, kept under inhumane conditions, traumatized for life, finances ruined, families ripped apart...

The number of murders so far is what they've been doing while having a certain number of immigrants to still chase down. As that number of immigrants to chase dwindles, their activity won't. And the number of citizen resistors and ensuing death will increase accordingly. 100 murders is being very, very conservative I feel.
