## Abolish ICE? DHS Too. It’s Time

Authored by talkingpointsmemo.com

If you’ve been watching reportage and viral videos of immigration raids over the last six months, you’ll remember that often there will be law enforcement officers or agents with uniforms that simply say “DHS Police.”

Not Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Patrol, just “DHS Police.”

As far as I know, there is no such agency under DHS.

DHS employs some 80,000 law enforcement officers spread across nine agencies and offices.

So I think that the uniforms just provide a general designation that these are law enforcement officers from within the Department of Homeland Security.

But what was clear from DHS’s creation was that that power could all be directed and concentrated toward some corrupt or illegitimate purpose.

And that, among many other things, is what we’ve seen over the last year. »

Several witnesses told Iran International that security forces appeared overstretched in some areas, relying on intimidation tactics, warning shots and use of force.

In other locations, particularly in southeastern Iran, rights groups reported that security forces fired directly on protesters in Zahedan after Friday prayers, wounding several people. »

Authored by truthout.org

Both Schumer and Jeffries sharply criticized Wednesday’s shooting and the Trump administration’s insistence that, contrary to mounting video evidence, the ICE agent who shot Good was acting in self-defense.

But Jeffries said Thursday that he was focused on passing other appropriations bills that were ultimately approved by the House.

Democrats refuse to use their power in the appropriations fight to rein in ICE. »
