    I would think just making them accountable to the laws would be the best start. You want laws on the books with outcomes, this is why they fight to settle them so much. They dont want those laws applied to them as it sets them in stone. If we just get rid of them, the next can still just abuse the same laws.

    I’m in complete agreement, but having watched the messaging around defund the police, are we sure this is the way we want to convey this?

    Maybe it would be better to focus on a message of supporting and protecting American communities from invasive intrusion of the government. Something more proactive, or progress achieving, rather than destructive as a message. Again, not changing the goal, ICE has got to go, it’s a broken agency from top to bottom. I’m just thinking about how that’s campaigned and messaged. It would be better to set the battlefield in our favor from the start.
