How leaders should talk about ICE... it's not hard.

**Step One**: Figure out what best communicates to your community precisely how you intend to make ICE accountable, restore a sense of justice to the immigration system, and prosecute the fascists.

* Use language that your constituents understand and is emotionally true to how they feel. * Make the bad guys the target.

Ex. Abolish ICE, Bring ICE to justice, reform our border... whatever works best.

**Step Two**: When Politico calls you and asks you to disagree with other people who largely want the same thing, respond with the following:

"We all just watched unaccountable federal agents publicly execute two of our neighbors. We could all fight over the language we use to describe what comes next, or we can all bring our best ideas forward and end this now."

**Step Three:** When a reactionary centrist bedwetter tweets at you for being too mean to Nazis or a keyboard warrior activist tweets at you for not using their exact language, reply with a link to what you created in step two. Then repeat your position that we are all going to end this together.

There is no step four.

You don't need to swing at pitches in the dirt and when your team has a runner on third, your goal is to put that ball in play, not to hope for a walk or argue with the fans or whatever.
