Democratic reps have been arrested for speaking out against raids or inspecting ICE facilities. They are far from perfect, but they're way, way better than you're saying.
But the reality is, they're powerless because people like you have discouraged people from voting for them. What can they do? They've been nearly universally unanimously against the GOP in votes this year, but they are a minority. They support legal challenges to the administration, but the Supreme Court is fucked.
Short of taking up arms, there's not a lot they can do until we get people to vote them into power.
The same Democratic party that voted for more funding for ICE when they were in control of the system? The same Democrats that promised they would be tougher than Trump on the border during the last election?
They are only against ICE now because the Republicans are in control, and they have to pretend to care. When they had power, they seemed to think that supporting these systems was perfectly fine.
I'll stop discouraging people from voting for them, whey they stop perpetuating the Evil Empire.
