How to Constrain ICE

Robert Reich (on Substack):

The only way ICE should get any funding is if its agents are (1) prohibited from carrying and using firearms, stun guns, teargas, pepper-spray or any other potentially lethal or injurious weapon or chemical; (2) required to get warrants before searching homes or automobiles or places of work or worship; (3) clearly identified and their vehicles clearly identified; (4) prohibited from making stops or arrests based on someone’s appearance.

Nailed it.

(I’d add only: (5) are prosecuted for crimes they commit under color of law.)

To make this happen, you must call your senators and say “No” to more funding for ICE. The Senate switchboard is 202–224–3121, or use the previous linked 5 Calls to reach your Senators directly (there’s a script you can read).

In the wake of two brutal murders, Democrats and Republicans alike are finally feeling the pressure to constrain and curtail ICE. We must press our advantage.
