Fun fact: Trump’s big beautiful bill actually defunded the police. All this money to ICE… to do law enforcement’s job with less training… while cutting police funding. I’m not making a judgment on it, just interesting.
if police were actually worth their salt don’t you think violent murders would be in jail? regardless of ICE? no? idk, just asking.

Might be the most unknowledgeable take I’ve seen in my life. Giving more money to the SS deportation and death squad doesn’t take away state’s money for state and local police. In fact, the Trump admin is testing using local cops as “immigration enforcement” in Tennessee!

Except they literally spent less money on police. That is the definition of defunding… allocating less budget. I’m not saying police money went to ICE, I’m saying the budget allocated more for ICE & less for police.
