    It won’t be abolished by politicians. Schumer and Jeffries have explicitly said this week that they are against reducing ICE funding. If Americans want to abolish ICE they need to make it practically impossible for ICE to operate.

      Not really:

      According to a December AP-NORC poll, just 38 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance when it comes to the issue of immigration. Conversely, 60 percent disapprove of how he’s performed on the issue.

      That’s nearly 40% who still like this shit. The same percentage as have supported Trump unwaveringly since 2016.
