Bernie Sanders leading the way of this one, as always, seeing if he can get away with changing the meaning of "abolish ICE" to "rename ICE and make it a bit more civilized."

Wait, so government officials asking for papers is (god damn) fascism now? Let's abolish all of government then I guess. I hear lawlessness is working out great over in Mexico.

seems like Bernie's passing that litmus test; where have u seen more "rename ICE" statements from him?https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1014199069995126784 …

Perhaps the tweet directly before the one you posted where Sanders says, "That will mean restructuring the agencies that enforce our immigration laws, including ICE." Restructuring is not abolition. The point is to remove the State's ability to do what ICE does, not do it nicer.
