CNN polling says Democrat rank-and-file are optimistic about this year's midterm elections even as they largely hate party leadership for not confronting Trump more. Meanwhile, Josh Marshall notes Ruben Gallego of Arizona calling for ICE to be "totally torn down." Marshall also notes Gallego was a political chameleon and shape-shifter on this issue to get elected to the Senate.
Meanwhile, The Barbed Wire has an in-depth story about young activists' reasons for wanting to "abolish ICE." It also notes Democrats' past chickenshittery on the issue.
What's tipped this off, of course, is that Joe Rogan called ICE the "Gestapo."
The answer? Most Democratic candidates for US Senate and state governorships will engage in virtue signaling. Already on the ground? State DAs will prosecute nobody. Yes, ICE may have bigger guns than your state police; at least fill out an arrest warrant anyway.
