Sen. Bernie Sanders also demanded āfundamental reformsā to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, saying they are āterrorizingā US communities.
US Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday demanded the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Millerāa key architect of Donald Trumpās violent mass deportation campaignāas well as concrete reforms in exchange for any new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In remarks on the Senate floor, Sanders (I-Vt.) called ICE a ādomestic military forceā that is āterrorizingā communities across the country. The senator pointed specifically to the agencyās ongoing activities in Minnesota and Maine, where officers have committed horrificāand deadlyāabuses.
Sanders said that ānot another penny should be givenā to ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) āunless there are fundamental reforms in how those agencies functionāand until there is new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security and among those who run our immigration policy.ā The senator has proposed repealing a $75 billion ICE funding boost that the GOP approved last summer, an end to warrantless arrests, the unmasking of ICE and CBP agents, and more.


People wouldāve blamed him for everything possible and then elect trump the next time. He would say shit like: you would pay no taxes if i were president and bernie is an old cave troll. He would just stand there and americans would shake their fat fists
Youāre getting downvoted but they did it with Jimmy Carter. He got blamed for EVERYTHING.
The left gets blamed for everything and takes some responsibility. The right is never held accountable and gets all the benefit of the doubt.
You say this about a country that had very real and strong support for Bernie, and you say it like more people supported trump than Bernie which is absolutely untrue.
Meh, more people supported Hillary than Bernie. The DNC tipped the scales and made a mess of things. But Hillary would have probably won that primary had they not been so fucking arrogant and corrupt. Could have just let the game play out, but they just couldnāt play fair.
All that being said, I obviously donāt know for certain. But no matter what happened, we got fucked either way.
