Defund ICE

There is no greater threat to our Democracy than what is transpiring in Minnesota.  The death of two young Americans at the hands of our own immigration enforcement service and the cruel lies of Trump and his Cabinet members necessitate a dramatic response.

ICE in its current form must be abolished and funding for immigration control must be significantly reduced.  If that requires a government shutdown, then so be it.  We must all be willing to deal with the inconveniences and economic effects of a shutdown if we truly want to put an end to Trump's assault on human rights.

This is not the time to "trim around the edges;" the Republican members of Congress must be forced to take decisive action.  Politics as usual is insufficient and the impeachment of those responsible for this crisis is imperative.
