$45 billion more given to ICE with the bill passed in the senate today. Your taxes going towards (more) ethnic cleansing. They want to strip citizenship from anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass and throw them in these cages. Next step after that will be “lending” the imprisoned for labor.

Any American who doesn’t have “abolish and defund ICE” at the top of their priority list is aiding and abetting fascists.

Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.
