AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Ansari: Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller rushed to smear a dead woman as a domestic terrorist, while Donald Trump took to truth social to gaslight the American people… This is what authoritarianism looks like. This is what happens when the leader of a nation turns a federal agency into his personal paramilitary force against the civilian population

AOC: We have snap recipients that this administration has essentially indicated, and this president has indicated that he is willing to starve them in order to coerce them into supporting him.

🚨SENATOR MARKEY IS THE FIRST U.S. SENATOR TO SAY “ABOLISH ICE.” This is the moment the movement has been waiting for as the Senate fight over DHS funding reaches a breaking point. "ICE must be abolished... This is a corrupt agency from top to bottom... [Trump is] giving a blank check to Kristi Noem... to all of these people who are out there on the streets undermining the constitutional rights of all Americans." The line has been drawn: no more blank checks for a "vigilante army" on American streets.

We warned Republicans that funding ICE with a blank check would create a paramilitary force to traumatize, brutalize, and kill Americans. We must impeach Kristi Noem, dump Stephen Miller, and put an end to this lawlessness.

I can’t give a blank check to any agency that has just killed two American citizens in less than one month.

This morning a TSA agent tried to bully me into getting my photo taken after I tried to opt-out of the facial recognition software that TSA is trying to implement. Apparently it’s the norm now to get your photo taken on top of giving TSA your ID every time you want to get on a flight. To add insult to injury, 2 illegals went through TSA right before me and didn’t have to undergo facial recognition. Your daily reminder that we shouldn’t even have to be opting out of this and forcing Americans into facial recognition before getting on a flight isn’t normal!

ICE is essentially being weaponized as Trump's personal police force. They’re wreaking chaos and violence on our streets. Enough. It’s time to hold this rogue agency accountable.

AOC to Scott MacFarlane on reflecting pool/ballroom/memorial arch: Why should this president then try to take a billion dollars more out of our health care and put that toward a ballroom when people are already struggling? It’s just deeply out of touch. I think it’s insulting to everyday people who are trying to get by on an honest day’s work.

Murphy: It is natural that Democrats would want to ensure that any money we spend on DHS is being used lawfully. Right now, that department is full of unlawful activity. This is obviously a very inopportune time to give an agency that is acting lawlessly even more money. ICE has so much funding, it has no idea what to do with it. I’m not interested in funding an agency that’s operating outside the law.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

We also worked with the folks at JigSpace to view one of our scans in 3D (this is a Luer lock–check out the thread for more on how these ingenious medical connectors work).

.Pablo Manríquez: What do you make of Republican efforts to increase ICE funding yet again? Garcia: Absolutely not. It’s a rogue agency… it's also they're causing so much harm to other law enforcement agencies that are trying to do good.

Frost: It’s too dangerous for you to visit Haiti for a day. Yet, on the same token, they want to expel 350,000 people—our neighbors, our teachers, our business owners, our caretakers—they want to expel them from this country. It is deeply racist, and part of this bigger project that Trump has of essentially expelling Black and brown people from this nation. And this is part of that.

AOC: "ICE is not just becoming an anti-immigrant force in this country. It is becoming an anti-civilian paramilitary organization.” “People are getting taken off of the streets for exercising their free speech rights." "This has now turned into what our greatest fear is...that this will be used as an anti-civilian force, that it has no accountability.” "What we saw today is a murder."

AOC: We can’t be in cahoots with the same money that is oppressing us. It’s not naive, Detroit. It’s what we need, and, most importantly, it’s what you deserve. You deserve a government that answers to you. And yes, compared to how things work today, admittedly, a government that listens to you more than it listens to big money is revolutionary.

AOC: We know that Donald Trump has not only been convicted of committing crimes, but that the supreme court has given him a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office. So we cannot underestimate the threat and the danger of this moment. But we cannot respond to that threat with cowardice.

AOC: We don’t have to talk about this as if it’s a hypothetical issue. Just a couple of months ago, Discord tried to roll out “age verification.” They contracted with a third party to conduct facial scanning — not just of kids, but also of adults. They decided to launch a teen default setting where they would lock users into a teen-appropriate experience. Which, mind you, if you are an adult who does not opt in, you then get cordoned off into the teen experience. Explain to me how that has anything to do with children’s safety. The only way to get out of that censored version is by scanning your face. What’s more shocking is that Discord made the decision to move forward with this after they had been hacked and 70,000 users had their data stolen.

Jayapal: I’m somebody who feels like it doesn’t matter what you want to call it, but we have to disband ICE. We have to abolish ICE. Whatever word you want to use, what we need to get to is the end result: ICE should not exist as it exists. And DHS should not exist as it exists. There’s no reason for DHS to exist. Immigration is a civil enforcement matter. It is not criminal. And that’s what people keep not understanding. It is a civil enforcement matter. It used to be handled out of the Department of Justice as a civil matter. Now it’s been criminalized. It’s been put into this massive agency that was created after 9/11 that should not be there. It is completely unaccountable and sprawling.
