Sen. Susan Collins was afraid when someone wrote in chalk on the sidewalk in front of her home. It is hard to square that with her tolerance of the tactics of ICE that include physical assault and execution.
I agree with her that illegal immigration needs to be addressed. It must be done though following the law and Constitution — and by unmasked agents wearing ID. ICE needs no further funding for training than its already generous funding. Rather it needs a change in leadership and policy at the top.
