The republicans just funded a gestapo force

The Democrats also funded that gestapo force, of course.

All Democrats and three Republicans—Thom Tillis (NC), Rand Paul (KY), and Susan Collins (ME)—voted against the bill.

Same story in the house. Only republicans are fully and totally responsible for this.

ICE wasn't formed by the BBB but under Trump it has fundamentally altered its character and method of operating in a way that will inevitably destroy the lives of millions and probably kill many of them and the BBB expand its funding which was 6B in the last year before Trump V1 to 200B under Trump v2.
