THREAD: Many of us in immigrant communities have been ringing the alarm for many years about #ICE #CBP. Border Patrol agents have been terrorizing border & immigrant communities w/out accountability. Now they are terrorizing activists in our cities... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/20/opinion/portland-protests-trump.html

This is what happens when leaders in both parties build & support enforcement agencies to target & criminalize ppl with bigger budgets than all federal agencies and with white nationalist & racists factions within them. #AbolishICE #DefundHate

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency and Customs and Border Patrol employ over 80,000 people altogether with a massive 2020 budget of $25.3 Billion ($8.4 billion for ICE and $16.9 billion for CBP). This is the largest enforcement force in the country.

They are same agents responsible for the separation of millions of families & the death of mothers, fathers, & children in detention camps. They are the same agents that used their union to endorse Trump.

If you are alarmed about what's happening in Portland join our movement to #AbolishICE & keep pushing members of congress to defund the deportation force #DefundHate. Budget Appropriation bills are coming up. Democrats must defund them now!
