Detention of handicapped children. The silencing of activists. Each week, another attack on immigrant rights comes to light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's going to be hard to say we didn't know. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ICE has escalated a campaign that tears apart families and ruins lives. But this didn't begin, and won't end, with Donald Trump in the White House. The Obama administration deported record numbers of immigrants, wildly expanded the scope and capacities of ICE, and supported detention center quotas. Voting Democrat alone won't save these children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Immigration does not take place in a vacuum; each time the United States pushes through another exploitative trade deal or wreaks havoc on sovereign countries, we perpetuate migration flows fueled not by opportunity but by desperation. How long will we continue funding an agency premised upon the abuse and dehumanization of undocumented immigrants? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We need to abolish ICE.
