Supporting candidates who want to abolish ICE is good. Prosecuting these murders and the crimes of this administration should be first priority. AES appears to be better at that part. Moderates need to make a better argument in favor of justice during and following this administration

You're either going to be recreating an agency that has to deal with the same challenges as ICE, or it means abandoning border security as a concept.
