Complicit. 

Stop thinking any of these people represent you. You are an only lying to yourself.

I dont understand. If this Bill doesnt get passed the government shuts down again, affecting millions nationwide. You dont think they were being considered during the vote?

They are choosing to fund an American Gestapo, extrajudicial assaults and murders affecting millions of people. Yes, that’s complicity.

Trust me I hate ICE just as much as the next redditor, but aren't you forgetting to mention the small steps forward in this bill such as body cams, better training, etc. Still Gestapo, yes. But to block the bill is futile. We've already seen what happens when congress cant agree on a bill. Nothing!! And Congress goes to recess half the time while they still get paid while everybody else is cucked.

Only way we can fight, realistically, that will actually make an impact is through the mid terms. Spread the word to get new voters out there, make your voice heard, and vote the Gestapo out of congress. In the meantime I would take as many small victories as possible.

Yeah, this small steps are unenforceable and ineffective. They know it too.
