Is tRUMP the only one that can stop ICE?

Or when we win in 2018, can we do something to stop them?

Would depend on the number of votes they could garner. United we stand.

Veto overrides can be problematic, though I think some Republicans would join in, especially those who had close calls in the midterms.

Who knows, maybe a Democratic Congress will give some Republicans the courage to do the right thing. Call me a dreamer.
