Roughly 100 members of Congress have said they will not approve further funding of ICE without reforms. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fed-powell-golden-globes-2026_n_6964c61ee4b0b3be67eb8c89/liveblog_6966aa5de4b09c0a939bfc60

@heidilifeldman @Su_G The reform I support is holding each current employee in their own prisons until their international crimes against humanity trials.

@heidilifeldman unless they appease the ultras we won't break 1/3 of potential voters again. Modest reforms of ICE is a conservative position.

@heidilifeldman Not nearly enough, but may they grow in rank.

And I really hope that disestablishing ICE is a D platform pillar. It bothers me that I don’t really know what the D stance is - have I just not heard, or are they not being clear and firm?

@StephanieMoore Congressional Dems are divided on the question though more of them are at least getting firmer on doing SOMETHING meaningful. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-funding-democrats-minnesota-shooting-b2899692.html

Democrats warm to making ICE funding a line in the sand: ‘Operating outside the law’

As the government runs out of money at the end of the month, Democrats look at reining in ICE through its pocketbook, Eric Garcia writes

@heidilifeldman not gonna lie, this seems like it’s well below the minimum they could be doing. Why such wet noodles on things? I want a better opposition party.

@StephanieMoore @heidilifeldman they should be screaming "Abolish ICE" into every microphone. And they're not; not yet.

@heidilifeldman The reforms seem very modest, but it looks like something. Hopefully Dem leadership gets on board.
