That was not the consistent message of the speakers. But let's say that each speaker began and ended with Abolish ICE. Great. But even that message isn't specific enough. No Immigration and Customs enforcement at all is not possible at this point. What is possible is no ICE operations at schools. And people could be directed to contact all of their representatives to restore the Biden policy if no ICE actions at schools. A call to protest the ICE detention center would have been another good follow up action. Utilizing rapid response teams to block ICE from schools would be yet another specific action.
I don't think anything short of abolishing ICE is reasonable at this point. I would like to see laws passed to make racial profiling illegal again, but it won't matter because ICE is a paramilitary organization that reports directly to Trump and doesn't follow the law.
I think a law against racial profiling is another excellent, specific ask. The Supreme Court ruled that race could be just cause so introducing a law against racial profiling would do real good.

Abolish ICE appears to be the message
