This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay - no matter the administration or party.
Our immigration system is built on a carceral framework. It’s no accident that challenging how we approach both these issues are considered “controversial” stances.
They require reimagining our relationship to each other and challenging common assumptions we take for granted.
It’s only 2 mos into this admin & our fraught, unjust immigration system will not transform in that time.
That’s why bold reimagination is so impt.
DHS shouldn’t exist, agencies should be reorganized, ICE gotta go, ban for-profit detention, create climate refugee status & more.
Based on the resolution she entered in the house of reps, when she said "require influx facilities w/ children to be licensed" she meant "Investing in effective community-based and community supported case management programs operated by credible non-profits that support immigrants who need it based on a presumption that asylum seekers and immigrants going through immigration court proceedings are free to live in their homes or communities, and save taxpayers’ dollars and protect human rights"
As someone who has worked in the world of non-profits, I do not trust camps run by non-profits to be more than a marginal improvement. I'm glad she's advocating for at least taking these steps and I'm not going to judge her harshly for working within the confines of her party, but goddamn do I wish someone would go further.
Yes, socdems don't go far enough, and what they do advocate for is easily corrupted or undone by neocons in the next election cycle. The state and borders should be abolished, by force if necessary.
But she's advocating the abolition of the DHS and ICE 2 tweets before this, so OP is a mischaracterisation, possibly unintentional, because twitter is awful.
The removed context right before this was:

"And that's why we need concentration camps to have licenses."
How did it end on that note exactly?

This is just obfuscation, who cares how many cutouts they get to do their dirty work
