“Steyer compared his plan to the way law enforcement fought the mob and called the federal agency a “violent extremist group.”
“The most attention-grabbing part of Steyer’s plan, though, is to give the attorney general power to prosecute ICE leadership. His plan cites the concept of “supervisory liability,” in which superior officers and agency leaders are held liable for actions they direct subordinates to do.”
“This body of law empowers the California justice system to criminally prosecute and imprison not just the ICE agents who are committing these crimes, but the leadership directing them to do so,” he said”
Stop, I can only get so erect

The plan isn’t to jail ice agents. It’s to enact justice.

Tom Steyer, are you the superhero we’ve been waiting for? Sure sounds like you might be!

11 R’s broke in TPS for Haitians. Things have started to swing back. Get out. Volunteer. Donate. Talk to friends. Whatever you can do. Run it up in November.

Apologies Mr Steyer, I was unfamiliar with your game.

I wonder if the GOP kinda wish they didn’t push Swalwell out of the race? Because now not only is the chances of a Dem lockout lower than before, but the most likely guy to represent the Dems is a class traitor billionaire, who is probably untouchable to the Trump admin.

Now we’re talking. He just jumped to the top of my list. I’ll vote for any politician who holds these Ice fucks accountable.

Hold up, I know he’s a billionaire and all that… but why don’t we let him cook here for a minute.

He’s saying all the right things. Just keep in mind Trump did to, just for hateful people.
We cannot allow ourselves to be bait and switched here. If he is voted in, we must make sure he’s held accountable.

Just one quibble. It’s a violent extremist group *and* a militarized police force prosecuting operations as though they’re engaged in a civil war action. They’re an assault force engaged in paramilitary style operations meant to subjugate and pacify a population the federal government considers to be an enemy.

State sovereignty is in the Bill of Rights. Take it to the Supreme Court.

Abolish ICE as well, and now we’re cooking.

I’ve agents owe us every I’ll gotten penny they made. All those expensive vehicles need to be sold, the agency needs to be dismantled and every agent under criminal review and charged as necessary.
But you know the dems are too feckless to act unless it goes as far as waving a sign

They are trumps private army sent to punish democrat states for not voting for him, immigration is the thin veneer he is using to justify his thugs in those places, they all need to be held accountable and ICE needs to be abolished in favor of proper humane immigration reform, not what ice is currently doing, which is chaining people together and shipping them to either foreign countries they have never been to, or cecot, the 24/7 lights on torture prison.

YES! PLEASE! They NEED to arrest these idiots!

Law enforcement will continue to ignore the legislative side of things and help their fellow oppressors. They have ironclad unions backing them and they love to power trip as much as the next micro brain. Let’s get a governor to roll out the national guard with orders to forcibly remove the violent terrorists operating on unconstitutional orders, then shit will start rolling. Local piggies will fall in line and we can take our states back one by one.

A populist billionaire wants to please angry voters? Hmm, why does that sound so familiar?
Dudes, he invested in private prison. He is another Trump who found opportunity in voters who are dumb and angry enough to support leftist version of Trump.

Eventually someone is going to realize they can RICO the lot of them. It is a giant mob grifting the American people, and they need to be tried as an organized group, and have their monies taken away from them too.
