If you join ICE, you are a terrorist against your own country.

ICE will forever be a stain in the history of the US

US history is one giant stain so it fits right in.

Getting rid of the bad apples and he's not even mayor yet.

So, as mayor, just out of curiosity, would he be able to make it so that serving in ICE immediately disqualifies someone from being a NYC police officer for life?

It seems like the most sensible thing to do. Why would you trust that trash with policing your city?

Should treat them like we would any other violent human trafficker

I don't think the mayor can just decree that sort of thing.

Setting up the brownshirts to subvert local policy no doubt.

Wow all those replies are terrible. Twitter is such a trash heap and people are not shy about who they are.
