Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

If anyone talking about funding ICE doesn't get primary'd, they will absolutely tank any chance the dems have of taking congress in 2022, let alone the presidency in 2024.
Swalwell also voted to thank ice.
"Funding" ICE? Like, you're saying that it shouldn't have funding?
I mean, ICE is the US's border control. Like, they enforce regulation of movement of people and goods. The US hasn't had uncontrolled borders in terms of people just rolling in and living and working there since ~1870 and I don't know if it's ever had fully unrestricted movement of goods; historically, high-tariffs/low-tariffs was a major part of American politics.
I'm pretty confident that there's no chance of an open-border US happening in the foreseeable future (and ditto for probably all developed countries, though you might get stuff like the European Union...but that's more analogous to states in the US, where the EU just pushed border control to the outer perimeter of a collection of states that internally agreed to common rules on borders).
ICE has no purpose. They've only been an agency since 2003. America was doing fine before 2003. In fact many of us think it was better back then!
That was just when the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Customs Service merged. The people and infrastructure and all that were already there. I mean, okay, sure, you could probably return to that state of affairs, split them up again on an organization chart, but I'm assuming that that's not what anyone saying that they don't want to fund ICE is concerned about.
So disband ICE and rebuild the INS and Customs Service. ICE is irrevocably tainted.
ICE has a purpose but the existing organization now has rot to the core and needs to be fully razed to the ground and rebuilt or replaced with a different organization. Any continuation of any existing project or individual's employment there is the equivalent of trying to find the good people in the brownshirts. They'll just lie until they get the chance to abuse and torture people to their heart's content again.
And, frankly, the pitch of, "Join this group if you only want to have to enforce the law against immigrants" was always basically sanctioning a legal KKK.
Regular law enforcement can and should handle the border.
There is a middle ground between "open borders" and all this shit ICE is doing now. Customs and immigration laws must be enforced, we dint have to do it the way ICE does it.
