Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) said he will be introducing a bill this week to abolish ICE because the agency was committing “murders” and was “beyond reform.” Thanedar loudly told reporters about his plans during a press conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. “We must reform ICE. But it looks at this stage, folks, ICE is beyond reform,” he yelped. “ICE is totally out of control, and this week I intend to introduce a bill to abolish ICE.” He called for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to be impeached and argued the federal government did a fine job handling immigration before ICE was established in 2003. “We do not need the murders, we do not need this paramilitary organization’s members on our streets, terrorizing U.S. citizens, terrorizing moms, terrorizing our children,” he said. Thanedar’s bill plan comes after 37-year-old protester Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week. CBS News reported on Wednesday the agent, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding when he was hit by Good’s SUV before he opened fire. Democratic lawmakers like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz condemned ICE following the shooting, and several anti-ICE protests broke out in the aftermath. White House Border Czar Tom Homan said on Tuesday that Ross was in”hiding” due to safety concerns. Thanedar appears to have growing support for abolishing ICE among his Democratic colleagues. He was flanked by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Rep. Tim Kennedy (D-NY), and Rep. Al Green (D-TX) while he spoke on Wednesday, with a large picture of Good propped up next to his microphone. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) told MS NOW last weekend that ICE “cannot be reformed” and called for it to be abolished. And Politico reported on Wednesday many Dems are “ready to fund it — with conditions.” Noem said she was ignoring Frey’s call for ICE to “get the f*ck out” of Minneapolis and sending “hundreds more” agents to the city this week.

President Donald Trump got a bit feisty with a reporter who asked if he was prepared to use “force” to “acquire” Greenland, as he has been pushing for. The female reporter told Trump at the White House on Wednesday, “It sounds like you would potentially acquire Greenland by force. That would be a NATO country.” Trump was not thrilled with the question. “No, you’re saying that. I didn’t say it,” Trump said. “You’re telling me that that’s what I’m going to do — you don’t know what I’m going to do. Your network doesn’t know, either.” The reporter pointed out Danish foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen visited the White House earlier on Wednesday and said his country had a “fundamental disagreement” with the U.S. over Greenland. Rasmussen added Greenlanders and Danes both feel Trump’s plan is “totally unacceptable.” The reporter then asked, “Are you willing to leave the NATO alliance in order to get what you want? What are the options right now?” Trump said he was “not going to give up options” and was not about to share his plans with the reporter. He reiterated his argument that Greenland is vital to the U.S. for national security purposes, before saying Denmark was weak and incapable of defending the island. “The problem is, there’s not a thing Denmark can do about it if Russia or China wants to occupy Greenland,” Trump said. “But there’s everything we can do.” He pointed to the military’s recent capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro as proof the U.S. was not to be messed with. “I can’t rely on Denmark to fend themselves off, you know they were talking about putting an extra dog — and they were serious about this — put an extra dogsled there last month,” Trump continued. “They added a second dogsled. That’s not gonna do the trick.” The reporter then started to tell him “Denmark fought alongside the United States in both Afghanistan and Iraq—” before the president cut her off. “Thank you for telling me that, I appreciate it,” Trump said sarcastically. He added “something will work out” on the whole Greenland thing. The president’s latest comments come after he has been unwavering in his push for Greenland recently. He said earlier this month “We need it” for national security purposes. And he reiterated his stance on Wednesday, posting on Truth Social, “The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. IF WE DON’T, RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!” Watch above via Fox News.
