ICE must get out of Minnesota now. It must get out of Maine now - Senator Bernie Sanders



America is not and must never be about federal agents shooting American citizens in cold blood, breaking down doors to arrest people, or sending 5-year-olds to detention centers.

ICE must get out of Minnesota now. It must get out of Maine now. - 01/30/2026.

1. You CANNOT compromise with fascists. They have a 100% track record of lying.

Millions paid the price of this "compromise"

NEVER AGAIN.




ADDED: complete text of Sanders' statement.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today secured a Senate vote on his amendment to the government funding package to repeal the $75 billion funding increase for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — originally included in Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB). The amendment would use those savings to reverse Medicaid cuts in the OBBB, preventing 700,000 Americans from losing their health care.

“As we speak, ICE agents are shooting American citizens in cold blood, breaking down doors to arrest people, and sending 5-year-olds to detention centers, all in clear violation of our Constitution,” Sanders said. “Instead of funding Trump’s domestic army, we should instead use that money to prevent hundreds of thousands of Americans from losing the health care they desperately need by investing in Medicaid. I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense amendment and stand up for the rights and dignity of all Americans.”

2. Good Grief! From my earliest years I grew up knowing Nazis were bad, long before I learned about WWII in history class

Who ever dreamed that we would experience Nazi behavior here - we fought them in WWII! Didn't these morans ever study history?? The entire sane world turned against their egregious beliefs and behavior...

3. The administration is following the fascist playbook, step by step, and covering it up with their hate campaign

which the magats eat up.

It's just harder to conceal the murders these days.

There's a saying "I'll see it when I believe it"

And denial is the main characteristic of a cult. And about half the country.

4. That is totally beyond me to understand. What about "never again" do they not understand??

Although I visited the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and the peace group she joined. There were statues and plaques all over in support of peace and we met with several peace groups in several cities. The people never wanted to experience that horror again, fought on their own land. There were even small museums in the schools so the children would learn and support peace. However, this was under Gorbachev who instituted more progressive reforms - look what's happening there now...

5. Magamericans never felt, and deny, the horror and devastation of war.

Their "gripes" are artificially generated by right wing media, and are always lies.

Like "The Biden Depression"

Germany's economic crisis was real. Maga's crises are artificial, created in The Matrix they live in.

The (once) wealthiest people on earth (despite the insane income disparity) are VICTIMS. What bullshit.

They are used, 100% thoroughly used, as are all cult members, until nothing is left.

It all goes in cycles. Because at first, it always works. Racism and other hate (list is too long to enumerate) work immediately, because they are easily fired up.
