In their rush to meet arrest quotas ICE cut corners and hired officers without basic vetting leading to the abuses and deaths we’ve seen on our streets.

The goons who murdered Alex Pretti and Renée Good were veterans of the agencies involved. The idea that ICE can be fixed with higher recruiting standards is demonstrably false. Complete abolition is the only reasonable course of action.

this post really gets at the root of why everyone thinks you're a piece of shit the only reform necessary is abolishing ICE no more money no more training fuck better screening charge every agent with civil rights violations

Many, many, many of us told you exactly this would happen, months and months ago. You somehow failed to stop it then. It looked like intentional not-benign neglect. I suspect now you finally figured out it won't be long until they come for you & your family. "If not now, when? If not me, who?"

If you are somehow still the top senate dem the next time you have a majority you had better fucking hold them accountable. We will be holding you accountable. If you let this go away without a reckoning your legacy will be defined by your impotence.

I think you misspelled “to be abolished” when you accidentally wrote “wholesale reforms”; might want to correct that so you don’t look like a spineless cowardly naïf with too few brain cells to manage an Arby’s, let alone be Senate minority leader

He can read the room just fine. His handlers tell him not to do anything about it because thly love ICE. Look at his entire career, when has he done anything that goes against what donors and corporations want? He is the personification of do-nothing corruption. An empty suit with a weak handshake.

They're killing people, Chuck. This is not something you reform, it's something you dismantle and prosecute everyone responsible for and involved in.

ffs Chuck, NO. Abolish the nazi fascist murder organization. Don't "hold people accountable" fucking ARREST, PROSECUTE, PUNISH the perpetrators of these crimes. Just slink off to your corrupt, inside-trading hole and leave the field for someone with a clue.

No amount of reforms will wash away the public perception of an agency that does extrajudicial killings and kidnappings on a regular basis. Abolish and replace with something far more restrained.

Two things: 1) Laws already exist forbidding many things ICE is doing—why do you think they will obey any reforms you pass? It feels like we are being occupied while you negotiate the rules of engagement 2) @schumer.senate.gov you forgot again: “It’s the corruption, stupid”

hi chuck would you care to detail what specific virtues you're looking for in a person paid to point automatic rifles at babies? when you close your eyes and dream of brown men being violently dragged out of their cars at gunpoint, who do you picture doing the dragging?

Again, you have failed to fulfill a simple request many law abiding citizens have requested from you. Ask these motherfuckers if they have hired any of the J6 domestic terrorists as ICE agents. How hard is that? You were supposed to ask Noem this a long time ago but you failed America once again.

Abuses and deaths is literally the main reason for ICE existing. Key qualification for the job is inflicting as much pain and suffering as possible.

ICE needs to be confined to our borders with an appropriate budget for their limited role. They have become an occupying army on our streets. STOP THEM. Every ICE facility has become an illegal concentration camp. An embarrassment for a “free” society. We’re all immigrants. We need more of them.

ICE is a paramilitary force in service to Trump and his regime. ICE needs to be abolished. It does not need to be revamped nor reformed. It needs to be abolished! #AbolishICE

Fuck reforms. They are rabid dogs murdering our neighbors. Good God man, look at what the fuck is going on around you. Stop encouraging a damn police state and stand for some freedom. There is no middle. Either you are with the fascists and legitimize them or you're not and want to actually fight.

Sugar coating it. ICE was patterned after private armies like Putin’s Wagoner Group. They hire straight from prisons..rapist, killers, evil men. Trump admires that shit. Trump controls ICE and can unleash them anywhere, anytime. Quit funding ICE

Vetting working as intended. People employed by ICE have exactly right qualifications for the job - cruelty, sadism, racism. They're hired not despite of those, but because of them.

We need ICE. However, we should cancel all new hires, reducing the number of agents by half. These individuals (wearing suits and ties) will revert to focusing on immigrants who are undocumented AND criminals. They also remove immigrants under court order whose asylum has been denied.

Would their quotas have been OK if they had hired well-vetted goons? Quit framing these atrocities as procedural errors. Do your fucking job, man.

Are you acting like this is brand new information you didn’t already know? Come on check. We’ve known that for about 12 months. Why don’t you resign and go nap your way through the rest of your life. You’re depriving America of a strong leader in a spot where we really need to have one.

No, Chuck. It's not lack of training. It's their MISSION. Even the most experienced ones are doing it. The men who murdered Pretti had 8 and 12 years of experience and training. WAKE THE FUCK UP AND DO YOUR GODDAM JOB!

Everything this country did, leading up to & in the aftermath of, the completely preventable events of 9/11 has been fascist, racist overreach. Our CIA trained the terrorists that attacked us. It was an inside job. The Patriot Act and other laws since are a violation of our constitutional rights.

Also Senator Schumer why haven't you put your support behind Angie Nixon of Florida and Scott Colom of Mississippi for the US Senate. I clearly see a double standard here Senator Schumer. Democrats candidate from the South can win if the DNC would fully fund there campaigns.

If John Fetterman wants to vote with the Republicans cut off his campaign funds. Then let him go be a Republican. We are tired of these Demorats taking up space in the Democrats party and voting with the Republicans.

Also Senator Schumer what are you going to do about John Fetterman? If the Democrats win the majority in the Senate. What good does it do if you have a Demorat like John Fetterman voting with the Republicans?

Yes, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) or its congressional arm (like the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, or DSCC) can choose to withhold or reduce financial support and coordinated spending for a specific senator or candidate.

Quite frankly Senate Schumer the people have lost confidence in you. Here we are going into the fall and we have yet to hear you pose the question. Is Mitch McConnell dead? Isn't that something the American people should know before the midterms?

Senator Schumer, you and Hakeem Jeffries are masters at tell us what the problem is. As if we are first graders, sir we know all to well what the problem is. The question is what are you and Mr Jeffries going to do about it?

Really? That is your only problem? Hiring practices? And you think that better HR is gonna stop them from creating terror in the community? How do you feel about arrest quotas? Are they OK if filling those quotas are executed by professionals? Are the concentration camps OK with you?

You are a useless weakling and directly complicit in the fascist destruction of this country. It is through your inability, and unwillingness, to meet this moment that we have lost so much. If there is a history of this time, it will remember you first, last, and only as a failure.

Way understated. They promised to get rid of the worst of the worst and instead they are inflicting terrible cruelty on hardworking people some of them citizens. This is a paramilitary force designed to purge the opposition - us.

Hey Chuck you can stop the erection of the triumph towers he wants to build This is were the dems should sit on their fat asses in front of the contractors and not let them proceed since it wasn't approved by congress But of course, the Dems are cowards and again won't do anything!

This post is fucking irrelevant unless your position is “abolish ICE”. That isn’t your position though. You think they can be redeemed and reigned in, fucking corporate Democrat. Resign.
