The calls for ICE to be abolished are growing. I feel like we’re heading back to Defund the Police v. 2.0. God, I hate losing elections because of unforced errors.
What we need are legislative safeguards to prevent ICE weaponization again, not elimination of an agency tasked in large part to prevent another 9/11.
As I saw in Jim Welby’s Substack recently, Thomas Friedman says we need a “high border wall with a big gate.” Immigrants are critical to our success. Arguably we’re not letting in nearly enough during the current administration. But those we do let in should be vetted.
The Democratic Party allowed millions of unvetted Immigrants into our country, along with cartels, drugs, and human trafficking.
BIllions of dollars spent on welfare benefits. I believe MPls sanctuary policies are the root cause of the current crisis, because they prevent cooperation and communication between law enforcement groups. Resistance to ICE tactics is damaging our city, and our elected democratic officials all cry “ICE out”, while ignoring the reality that immigration law would no longer be enforced…which is a federal responsibility. Some people do not differentiate between legal and illegal immigration. BOth republican and democratic Lawmakers need to get busy and agree on how to manage this problem so we can move forward. I am an independent with little confidence in current democratic leadership, and also have issues with some republicans, which leaves me disgusted, angry and fearful for the future of Mpls.

I listened to the Friedman interview as well. It was good. He is from Willmar, MN.
Each day I feel more and more politically homeless
