Sen. Bernie Sanders also demanded “fundamental reforms” to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, saying they are “terrorizing” 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 Miller—a key architect of Donald Trump’s violent mass deportation campaign—as 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 “domestic military force” that is “terrorizing” communities across the country. The senator pointed specifically to the agency’s ongoing activities in Minnesota and Maine, where officers have committed horrific—and deadly—abuses.
Sanders said that “not another penny should be given” to ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “unless there are fundamental reforms in how those agencies function—and until there is new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security and among those who run our immigration policy.” 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.
Democrats, as a franchise, lost the election because they failed to appeal to their base. They tried going for a non-existent, imaginary “center” voter, because, like you, their comprehension of what a voter is, what it takes to get a voter, and what default voter behavior will be, its fundamentally flawed.
Trump as the 2024 candidate was one of the least popular candidates of all time. He was one of the most defeat-able opponents in history. But, Democrats (and yourself), don’t understand the world they live in.
The majority of voters are in the middle of the spectrum not far left or right. The election results are proof of that.
Nation wide progressives/leftists lost more elections than democrats.
Trump won in 2024 because he had the help of election tampering, foreign propaganda and the billionaire class literally buying votes. Just to name of a few things.
Take your destructive world view, a world view that quite literally handed the government to fascists, and shove it up your ass.
You don’t know shit. Just like the DNC doesn’t know shit. And because you think you do, you handed this country to fascism.
Ok, have fun pretending your world view is real even though it is based on your experience in an echo chamber and not the real world.
The DNC will continue to win more elections than leftist/progressives.
