Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Am I the only one that thinks if they can get ICE to follow the laws and have recordings would be a positive change?
Not negotiating and leaving all as is right now seems worse
I'm sure that you've got some good company there like Henry Cuellar, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Tom Suozzi, and the others who are naive enough to think you'd get ICE to follow laws they already aren't following and not murdering American citizens if they only had body cams when one of them was literally filming his execution with his camera while violating SOP.
First, there is no reason I can see to think that ICE will follow the new laws they pass. They are not following the law now. Second, why would cameras make a difference? We have clear video evidence in at least two murders committed by ICE and there has been now action taken to prosecute or even reprimand the murderers.
The only viable option for the democrats in Congress is to use the GOP playbook and extort the administration by shutting the government down until they comply.
They can't though, and to think that's a possibility seriously misunderstands the situation.
The point of a fascist death squad is not to follow the law. If they'd intended to follow the law, they wouldn't have created illegal anonymous death squads with no oversight and free rein to attack whoever they want.
Recordings or body cams will change nothing. They all know there's a hundred cameras pointed at them when they do something and they do it anyway, they know there is no accountability.
