4. Just heard ICE is leaving Maine. We may see more ICE retreats in the coming days because of the current budget impasse.

I hope Democratic politicians are not fooled by this ruse, because if they agree to fund ICE with or without "reforms", these thugs will be back on our streets in more places and in bigger numbers than ever before.

The Democratic leadership must understand that no compromise can be made on this issue, or we lose our democracy and our country.
