There are no ICE detention centers in Hawaii, so the federal government has placed immigrants in prisons. ICE in February signed an agreement with the Federal Bureau of Prisons—part of the Justice Department—to reserve space for ICE detainees, according to the Honolulu Civil Beat, which reported residents from out of state being transferred to Hawaii as early as June.
Immigration lawyers in Hawaii told the Civil Beat that they are concerned residents of other states are not getting effective counsel in Hawaii; even if they had a lawyer, it’s difficult to stay in touch thousands of miles away, they told the Civil Beat.
Why would they fire a president who is fulfilling their legislative demands?
They wouldn’t which was the point of the comment. It’s not enough to solely blame dems for inaction during 2 terms when the other party is currently in power and not doing anything good–some blame should be levied on them as well.
As we enter into a primary season when Dems have to decide who will represent them in 2026, it is important not to fall into the trap of running candidates like Manchin and Sinema again, simply because they are “electable”.
They cannot simultaneously be a necessary evil for party majority and a perpetual excuse for party impotence.
The Dem Party is what it does. Up until maybe a week ago, the Schumer/Jefferies minority has provided a rubber stamp for fascism. All that talk of the Senate needing 60 votes to do anything and the House having the ability to stall legislation through technicality indefinitely seems to only apply during Liberal Presidencies.
If squishy fascist-friendly liberals aren’t getting stiff primary challenges now, Dems will have set themselves up for failure later.
100%
But I also blame the literal fascist in addition to the fascist-apologists for enabling fascism.
There’s no point in blaming a fascist. You just shoot them.
But fascist collaborators need to be picked out and disciplined. If you’re not willing to identify them, you’re setting yourself up for a bad time.
