On Tuesday, Reps. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) and Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) urged fellow Democrats to support the Melt ICE Act. Unlike those in her party who want to amend Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Ramirez’s proposed legislation would essentially end immigrant detention and monitoring under DHS while returning taxpayer dollars to the communities impacted by ICE.

We need a Saving American Lives Today (SALT) Act, to melt the ICE.
Oh you’re good.
“Beginning on the date that is two years after the date of22 the enactment of this Act, no Federal funds may be23 used with respect to immigration detention and24 monitoring programs, including any contract with any entity that owns or operates a program or facil-1 ity that provides services related to detention or2 monitoring.”
What are we doing for TWO YEARS? We don’t need to slowly melt ice, we need to crush it now.
What are we doing for TWO YEARS?
I just read that if ICE continues killing people at this accelaration, it’ll be 100 dead by the end of the year.
Not to speak of people beaten, deported, kept under inhumane conditions, traumatized for life, finances ruined, families ripped apart…
The number of murders so far is what they’ve been doing while having a certain number of immigrants to still chase down. As that number of immigrants to chase dwindles, their activity won’t. And the number of citizen resistors and ensuing death will increase accordingly. 100 murders is being very, very conservative I feel.
Did the math and hypothetically if made into Law disbandment would be 2028, the last year of Trump.
So if we don’t have it effective immediately we continue what we already are doing…resisting and disrupting as many raids as possible
Pack heat.
Melt ICE.
Narrator: They didn’t.
Oh look, a rare sighting of an actual “Representative of the people”
