Michigan Democratic Congressman Shri Thanedar has followed through on his plans to introduce the Abolish ICE Act, which is a legislative attempt to dismantle the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
His office issued the announcement on Jan. 9 and initiated the process on Jan. 15 for the bill registered as H.R. 7123. The bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee, the Homeland Security Committee and the Ways and Means Committee.
Such a bill would need to get the support of both the Republican-led House and Senate, then go to President Trump for a signature to become effective. But the Trump administration has been defending ICE’s recent actions, including the fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis.
Can’t wait to watch Democrats do absolutely nothing. They are not gonna eliminate ice,
I know it’s not directly relevant to Congress, but the Minneapolis mayor outright said “I am not in favor of abolishing ICE” today.
Wasn’t that the guy saying “Get the fuck out of our city” a few days ago?
Pussy.
I expect all Democrats will vote yes because there’s no chance it’ll pass.
Too bad it needs bipartisan support and the presidents approval, eh. Damn those Democrats always in the way!
Stop being purposely stupid. You know for a fact that a lot of democrats (in positions of power) are right wing and don’t give a single fuck about anyone other than their wallets.
Hey, all I said was the bill needed bipartisan support, because more than half is red, and the president has to agree to sign it, who won’t. Get a fucking grip. Yeah, your whole political system is a joke, whatcha gonna do about it?
You think the party that has deported more people in the last 16 years than all other years combined and gave one of the largest increases of federal funding to ICE is gonna eliminate them? Democrats love building up a police state as much as Republicans
Where do I discredit that statement in what I said?
I mean, I know it’s not going to work but at least it’s something? I guess?
Ron Paul used to love hopeless votes like this to expose where his opponents stood. A nay vote means they’re a fascist who doesn’t deserve your vote in any election for any reason. There are no degrees of fascist.
CBS (barf)
See B.S.
We need to abolish the DHS.
Oh Shri
More ineffective virtue signaling.
Is there a replacement proposed or is this populist rep farming?
