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.
I agree. The Clintonās had some heavy baggage and a straight old white dude wouldāve been interesting! Idk if he wouldāve won but simply having his platform endorsed wouldāve changed history. He was just as angry as Trump was. If only Harambe didnāt die.
Iāve seen people claim that they were going to vote Bernie until Clinton won the nomination, then they switched to Trump.
My mind boggles at the sheer insanity of that change, but I guess they wanted someone ādifferent.ā They didnāt seem to care what ādifferentā meant.
20 years of AM radio fucked some people up.
More like almost 100 years. Learned that on the It Could Happen Here podcast. Very good and stark background of how talk radio has been dividing this country since the 1930s, using religion as its Trojan horse.
Yes but then Reagan.
But with Bernie you knew where he stood, you knew what he was pissed about and what systems he wanted to dismantle. The rich Dems of the east Coast south and west coast couldnāt handle that.
It was literally the Midwest and iron belt that supported him and pacific nw that supported him
Trump was going to destroy everything for his own benefit not for the betterment of the general public.
Nebraska is a red state, I knew more people excited about Bernie than Trump, I threw a tantrum when Hillary got the nod and was told by better off people I knew in far bigger cities and with more money that Hillary was the safe bet. Still to this day same people so excited for Gavin Newsom, they post their hatred everyday about Trump but they arenāt willing to vote for anyone who will put up a fight with the fip. Gavin isnāt it
