Abolishing ICE isn't enough – it's time to center people's humanity | Heba Gowayed and Victor Ray

I'm so tired of the US's track record when it comes to treating immigrants with dignity and respect... It's like, come on guys, can't you just treat people with basic human decency? The way they've been demonizing immigrants for years is just heartbreaking. And those recent cases where people were killed by ICE agents or in immigration custody? That's just unacceptable. We need to move beyond this violent system and focus on creating a humane future for everyone, not just the already here... It's time for a change, like, now!

honestly though, the US government's treatment of immigrants is straight outta a bad horror movie . Like, who thought it was a good idea to create an entire agency built on racial profiling and deportation? It's time to acknowledge that this system is fundamentally broken and that violence only begets more violence .

And can we please talk about how the US has been doing this for centuries?! The Chinese Exclusion Act, Ronald Reagan's amnesty program, IIRIRA... it's like they're trying to prove a point that immigration is inherently threatening. Newsflash: it's not . Immigrants are human beings who deserve dignity and respect.

I mean, abolishing ICE is a good start, but let's be real, we need to go way deeper than that . We need to dismantle the entire system that perpetuates violence and racism against immigrant communities. It's time for a more humane approach that prioritizes people's lives over national security .

ICE is literally the worst . They're always catching people, but they never catch the bad guys... just innocent people trying to make a living. It's crazy how they can just detain anyone without due process, like Davino Watson's story. The fact that they're even allowed to racially profile people is just disgusting . And now Renee Good is dead because of it . Abolishing ICE alone isn't enough, we need a whole system overhaul. It's time to put people first instead of relying on violence and fear. I'm so done with this country's treatment of immigrants... it's just not right .
