‘Breathe Act’ Would Close Federal Prisons, End Immigration Detention

The left-wing political group Black Lives Matter is seeking support in Congress for radical legislation that would, among other things, close all federal prisons and immigration detention centers.

The bill “would eliminate federal programs and agencies used to finance and expand the U.S. criminal-legal system, such as the Department of Defense 1033 program, the Edward Byrne-Justice Assistance Grant Program, Community Oriented Policing Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the bill states.

“We stand on the shoulders of giants and there has been 400 years of work that Black people have done to try to get us closer to freedom,” Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors said about the proposed bill, citing the false date for America’s founding.

“This moment is a watershed moment,” Cullors said. “I think this moment calls for structural change and transformative change in ways that we haven’t seen in a very long time. We see this opportunity to push for the Breathe Act as a part of what we’re calling the modern-day civil rights act.”

As Breitbart News reported, far-left “Squad” members Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) partnered with the coalition Movement for Black Lives in promoting the bill:
The two lawmakers reportedly announced the “BREATHE Act” in a virtual meeting on Tuesday. Tlaib described the measure as ushering in a “new version for public safety — a new vision for public safety, one that protects and affirms black lives.”
“We must invest in a new vision of public safety,” Tlaib said. “Today, I am proud to join the calls coming out of one of the largest movements for justice that my district and our country have ever seen to say unapologetically: I support the #BREATHEAct.”

The Associated Press reported on support for the radical legislation in academia:
University of Michigan professor and criminal justice expert Heather Ann Thompson acknowledged the uphill battle, but noted that the legislation is being introduced at a highly opportune time.
“I think those programs that they’re suggesting eliminating only look radical if we really ignore the fact that there has been tremendous pressure to meaningfully reform this criminal justice system,” said Thompson, author of ‘Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy.’
“Every radical piece of legislation that we’ve ever passed in this country, it has passed on the heels of the kinds of grassroots protests that we saw on the streets. The will of the people indicates that if they just keep putting a Band-Aid on it, these protests are not going to go away,” Thompson said.

A bill that would go along with that is an expanded Castle Doctrine for people and business that allows them defense against assault and they can protect their property.

Unless they are advocating totally anarchy in which case those criminals should stay away fro people and places that have the "Come and take it" signs out.

They're doing a great job convincing people to vote for Trump.
They actually believed that the average American supports this kind of lunacy. this is what happens when you live in an echo chamber and people are afraid to tell you the truth.

Ask for the moon and you may get a tall stool.

You're still better off than having not asked.

Of course you run the risk of being given a tall rope, a platform and a noose.

Of course, what could go wrong?

We just use our new racial justice awareness and discuss the unfairness of our biased society when we are confronted by the wolves.

They’ll see us a sympathetic to them and understand that we’re now trying to atone for our sins. We only need to offer up our wealth, wives, daughters and probably lives to sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

Sarcasm off. That’s the best I can do to approximate the mindset of these Progressive simpletons who buy into this drivel...

The second part of your post hovers closer to the truth, I think.

I think it may be part of a longer-range strategy, though. Once they de-fund the Leos and let the Leos go (layoffs), let out the criminals and crime skyrockets, people will be begging for more security. Then, they re-fund, and get to hire those that are better aligned with the new reality.


They aren't stupid, it's just their goals and ethics are so diametrically opposed to traditional ways of thinking it appears so.

They're not smoking anything in DC, it's a long term plan that we're finally seeing coming to fruition. That plan is to destroy the US, capitalism, christianity, and either kill off or enslave all white people. And they will get their eutopia of ruling us with an iron fist.

I have not read the actual bill, but I heard it may include provisions to make it easier for "undocumented" people to vote. Whoever the idiot commies are that came up with this bill need to be shot as they as they have absolutely no socially redeemable qualities.

For years they've pushed for a unified "national police force" under the umbrella of the COPS program. Under the "President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing" it was expressed by appointed task force members that their greatest frustration was how their recommendations were slow in implementation, if adopted at all.

Once all major LEA are defunded or augmented, it would be easy to implement a nationalization of police using the same argument being used now to defund/abolish police.
