Editor:
We must defund, not increase, funding for the cruel and illegal ICE. Their intrusion into cities and states without the invitation of the governors of those states is telling. It is only happening in states that President Trump is unhappy with by not bending to his every wish.
The recent killings of American citizens is chilling. The videos do not bear out the whitewash immediately pushed forward by his mouthpieces. By locking out state and police impartial investigations, which is traditional, our government may be breaking the law and not just tradition. With their actions we can no longer trust anything they say regarding the actions of ICE, including the workings of detention and deportation. Defund ICE.
