Sen. Bernie Sanders also demanded āfundamental reformsā to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, saying they are āterrorizingā US communities.
US Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday demanded the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Millerāa key architect of Donald Trumpās violent mass deportation campaignāas well as concrete reforms in exchange for any new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In remarks on the Senate floor, Sanders (I-Vt.) called ICE a ādomestic military forceā that is āterrorizingā communities across the country. The senator pointed specifically to the agencyās ongoing activities in Minnesota and Maine, where officers have committed horrificāand deadlyāabuses.
Sanders said that ānot another penny should be givenā to ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) āunless there are fundamental reforms in how those agencies functionāand until there is new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security and among those who run our immigration policy.ā The senator has proposed repealing a $75 billion ICE funding boost that the GOP approved last summer, an end to warrantless arrests, the unmasking of ICE and CBP agents, and more.
Iāve seen people claim that they were going to vote Bernie until Clinton won the nomination, then they switched to Trump.
My mind boggles at the sheer insanity of that change, but I guess they wanted someone ādifferent.ā They didnāt seem to care what ādifferentā meant.
20 years of AM radio fucked some people up.
More like almost 100 years. Learned that on the It Could Happen Here podcast. Very good and stark background of how talk radio has been dividing this country since the 1930s, using religion as its Trojan horse.
Yes but then Reagan.
Indeed. Reagan furnished the house so Trump could take a shit in it. The talk radio era I mentioned earlier excavated the ground and laid the underground utilities.
We the people need to raze the structure to the ground and declare the site a radioactive hazard, complete with the creation of an atomic priesthood and ray cats so no one ever builds there again.
Clinton was a career politician that didnāt advocate for any changes, short of small ones. Trump was seen as a buffoon who would get himself impeached soon after and allow Dems to take over the Senate and House. Little did anyone know he planned on just selling the US out completely.
