Outrage is mounting in Georgia and across the United States as the federal government moves to dramatically expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention capacity as part of an escalating war on immigrants. In rural Social Circle, Georgia, local officials revealed that ICE intends to purchase a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse and convert it into a massive detention complex capable of holding up to 10,000 people, a scale of incarceration not seen in the United States since the mass imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

    ICE should be disbanded and anyone responsible for this kind of thing should be arrested.

    I’d love to see Democrats running on that for 2026 elections.

      I’d love to see Democrats running on that for 2026 elections.

      Dems: “Best I can do is running on slightly reforming ICE, and maybe making it illegal for them to wear masks … unless it’s cold or they feel it’s necessary for their safety.”

      Or- hear me out- a different but broadly popular coalition of sane, not corrupt people who are sick of the appeasing Dems and fascist Repubs. Let’s break this stupid system.
