This, exactly. Nobody is going to put my friends and family anywhere without a fight.

Not to sound pessimistic, but nobody really put up a fight when Ice put friends and family in camps and deported them. Sure there were a few dozen people across the country of 300 million that protested and tried, but by and large nobody did anything.

ICE is still arresting people in the twin cities, tf are you talking about?

We can't end ICE completely without legislation, that's one reason the midterms are so important.
