In a Nation opinion piece, Felipe de la Hoz argues the 2026 midterms were a revolt against ICE's crackdown—including the Minneapolis invasion and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good—and warns that Democrats risk squandering that mandate if pundits' kitchen-table framing wins out. He recommends DHS officials face congressional hearings, a Church Committee–style investigation, possible prosecutions or impeachment, clawed-back funding, and a conversation about abolition, noting Trump's elevation of Stephen Miller to chief of staff makes stopping him urgent.
