No justice, no budget. ICE shouldn't get another bloody dollar until every officer that has violated any law or constitutional provision is in jail. Democrats voting to fund ICE need to be named and shamed as trump boot lickers. Pressure should be made toward the DNC and state parties to expel them.
Ever.
They are fundamentally a fascist institution. They cannot be reformed. The only people they hire are the sort of people who apply to join ICE, and there is no good reason to do that.
"The Gestapo should not be allowed to reform until the Nuremberg Trials conclude" is a bit of a wild position I'd say. Or if you prefer, "We shouldn't allow slave-catchers in the north until they prove they can hunt slaves responsibly and civilly."
Abolish it forever and put anyone who would bring it back in their place. No "funding after X condition is met." No funding PERIOD, ever.
