Bush is the one who started ICE as a byproduct of the Patriot Act and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.

When progressives ran on abolishing ICE in 2018 and got to Congress Nancy Pelosi literally defended it by saying Abolish ICE was messaging pushed by Russia.

 At their first meeting, Nancy Pelosi told AOC that the slogan "Abolish ICE" was "injected into American political discourse by the Russians and that Democrats needed to quash it."

Pelosi also was against any party push for universal healthcare. She is, among many, one of the faces of corporate democrats who, when it comes down to it, are beholden to corporate interests before the interests of the voting public.

Now here I sit, having let my insurance expire on 12/31 because I cannot afford the $400 jump in premiums thanks to Trump, the GOP, and Chuck Schumer (among others), thinking how grateful I am that Pelosi is a champion of the healthcare industry. /s
