    $10000 ICE will use this data to charge POC women crossing state borders to access reproductive care with murder and deport them.

      No, I think the ones persecuting women for murder for seeking an abortion would be a different agency. ICE will be the ones using this data as a way to target pregnant brown women for deportation.

      The US has a wide variety of jackbooted thugs these days; ICE is just the largest.

        Brown women for now

        ICE’s new annual budget places the federal agency among the top 20 most well-funded militaries in the world

        Through the president’s signature domestic policy, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, ICE’s annual budget is expected to increase from $8.7 billion to approximately $27.7 billion, with $75 billion allocated for the agency over the next four years.

        It’s not going to end with brown women, or brown people, or criminals, or whatever else was promised. No other reason to create such a well funded private military with direct presidential control and far less rules about how they can be used in comparison to the actual military

        Eh, ICE is in the proto Schutzstaffel phase. For now they only abuse and kidnap people who fit the ever expanding category of “foreigners”, but we’re only one dementia decision away from Trump deciding that it’s only his most dedicated bootlickers can be trusted.
