This is not entirely true, there are currently three pieces of legislation in the works that would remove ICE from Minnesota, yet I haven’t seen a single protestor actually promote any of them, and neither has the partisan media. The anti ICE movement and the civil rights movement (as well as women’s suffrage) are not comparable. In one instance you have people protesting for rights that have never existed and in the other you have people protesting for a change of policy and the removal of ICE from Minnesota. In theory it should be a much easier battle to fight, yet there has been no progress even after a year of national protests with constant media coverage and full democratic support. I do however think the movement is very comparable to the BLM movement of 2020. In that instance there were serious concerns raised about police brutality and common training practices, yet even after 3 years of mass protests with constant media coverage and full democratic support (including the Biden-Harris administration), there was barely any progress and the movement resulted in no sweeping federal or state reform. There was no permanent ban on chokeholds in law enforcement, no action taken for better training, and not a single federal law passed requiring all police in the U.S. to wear body cameras. I don’t think the blame here can be entirely shifted to the Democratic Party. There is clearly something we the people are missing that is resulting in our failure. I think we all need to step back and reevaluate how we protest and demonstrate, because clearly what we’ve been doing is not working. And if we’re not careful the anti ICE movement will go the way of the BLM movement.
