With President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation policy in full force, Democrats say it’s time to restore accountability and oversight to an agency they accuse of operating with too little transparency and too much unchecked authority, according to a member of the Homeland Security Committee.
Amid the government shutdown, House Democrats eyeing a return to power have a clear target in mind—tightening oversight of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a key arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), by imposing new transparency and accountability rules amid mounting backlash over the agency’s tactics and treatment of detainees.
Keep doing war crimes, but your expense forms need to be signed off by a manager now.

Kings “reign”. TO stop a runaway horse, you tighten the “reins”.
I really hope it was OP’s title and NOT Newsweek.
Ice needs to be “reined” in.

Seriously? Major news outlet screws up ‘rein’ and uses ‘reign’? The Democratic Party is going to turn ICE agents into monarchs?!?

Journalists who use “reign in” rather than “rein in”.

Yeah how about defunding the agency?

Congressional dems don’t fucking get it. ICE has done too much and needs to be disbanded today at this point. And if people are still going to use the cover of ICE to terrorize, trafficking, and exploit minorities- they can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This does not stop as long as ICE is allowed to exist.
Leave border patrol to the coast guard.

Funny, they misspelled “arrest & imprison” in this headline with the letters “r.e.i.g.n…i.n.”

Great. This will go over well and help improve their 18% favorability rating.
Sure. They never bothered when they had every other opportunity, but sure, they’ll do it this time

The desperate act of a treasonous party which wants to be a part of the problem and not the solution.

How about every agent hired during this fascist period is is questioned and held accountable for their actions. That what I want to see happen.

Reining them in?!
**NO!!!**
They need to be disbanded, arrested, and charged to the fullest extent of what the law is supposed to be. This isn’t some case of “Oh, they had a bad owner was all”. Nearly all of them, if not all of them, have always been itching to do something like this to innocents because of what they were born with. I knew something like this would be considered when someone mentioned that they may lose qualified immunity. This is why we have to push for actual justice to be done to put an end to ICE’s evil.

Rein. REIN in. Like a horse, not like a king.

Interns cancelled for insurrection act. Dems plan foiled. Game over.

“No one is above the law” right? Begin arresting them. What’s the fucking point of our local and state police if they can’t be bothered to uphold the law?

Anything less than putting them into their own camps, without due process or proper medical care, is better than they deserve

Title aside, at least it’s an actual plan. Even if it’s a shitty one. The plan so far has been “anti-Trump” which isn’t going to cut it anymore. The overarching theme for midterms should be to get us out of this mess and improve people’s lives. Saying Trump is a piece of shit racist isn’t going to get the job done anymore.

We will see how the [ratchet](https://youtube.com/shorts/BqIaWcqsr_Q?si=iNfP7SHCQgZ9TdCF) effect plays out when the democrats assume power.
