There is no "fixing" or "reforming" DHS or ICE.

Both organizations must be scrapped.

DHS functions can revert back to the FBI, USCG, USSS, Postal Inspectors, and INS.

ICE must be abolished and Immigration Agents (GS-1810) must be rehired, as in the pre-9/11 days.

These IAs would conduct pre-planned raids and bring aliens before Immigration Judges (IJs) for due process with dignity.

An IJ would ask: "Why in the name of Jesus have you manacled an 86-year-old woman, Agent Tackleberry?"

Any politician who wants to "fix" or "reform" these two toxic organs of the police state does not deserve our vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

This happens because ICE is staffed with amoral, sociopathic, dirtbags...from the top, down. Ice is staffed by amoral, sociopathic, dirt bags, because the entire republican leadership consists of amoral, sociopathic, dirtbags.

"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law. An offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to things you just didn't think were possible. Each day, we're told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others. And that some don't even count at all. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated and bullying and mocker masquerading as strength."

They did say they were going after "the worst of the worst". That's who they recruited to work for ICE!
