The absolute minimum that should be done should be to split ICE up into the original agencies that were merged into it in 2002. Originally, the border policing and customs, and the immigration enforcement were two separate agencies. Customs was controlled by the Treasury, immigration was controlled by the Justice Department.
Basically, undo everything that was done in response to 9/11 and dissolve the Department of Homeland Security.
THANK YOU. It’s frustrating how people seem to have forgotten this. We spent 200 years with enforcement agencies being completely independent, unable to collude, balancing abuses of power, then a few weeks riot-fascists took advantage of 9/11 to combine them all into one huge police agency with extra-constitutional powers and no checks and balances. Now we’re here. This is definitely a root cause
