The Biden administration might not need to abolish ICE. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has floated a plan to reorganize the federal deportation agency to the point where it’s not doing much arresting and deporting from inside the country anymore. Mr. Mayorkas revealed his idea last week in a telephone meeting with agency personnel in Texas, according to several sources familiar with the conversation, who said he proposed taking members of the country’s 4,000-strong deportation force off the streets and converting them into criminal investigators. They would no longer be focused on enforcing laws against illegal presence, which would have the effect

The source quoted in the article might not know that words no longer have consistent meanings, but rather change according to the whims of the all-powerful New American State. FTA: "But the officers who were part of the conversation expressed concern that they were being pushed out of the jobs they signed up for, one source said. 'It’s all spin,' the source said. 'We’re not going to abolish ICE, but we really are going to abolish ICE as you know it.'"

So, if you're not arresting or deporting any longer, then do you need to put any of the DACA or others on a path to citizenship since they have not fear of being deported or removed from the country?
Maybe Mr. Mayorkas got a little ahead of himself with these comments since I know the Democrats, who despite turning down President Trump's push to solve this vexing immigration issue, want to do it so they can take credit and gain the gratitude from those they helped years later than was needed.
Just put all of them at the end of the current line for legal immigration processing, which is about 10 years or more wait. That would not be amnesty as it's at least a decade wait.
When democrats don't like that option, you know they have another ulterior motive.

Typical leftist move. Remove an organization whose objective is to protect the U.S. under the name of Homeland Security.

Some GOP firebrand should propose the abolition of Homeland Security, as it provides none, turning a blind eye to the laws and failing to act on various intelligence. Who needs security with de facto open borders? We can buy non-enforcement without the expensive bureaucracy. If the Republicans/conservatives are serious, they need to begin at first principles: What defines American Homeland Security?

The primary enforcement concept of the immigration laws has always been based upon the fact that all illegal aliens, criminal and non-criminal alike, found in the USA are subject to be deported or removed from the USA back to their home countries. If the Biden crew decides to no longer deport or remove all illegal aliens found in the USA they will be undermining the historic intent of the immigration laws. The result of that will be that the illegal alien population will grow exponentially and unimpeded, that’s just common sense.
The Biden crew and the Democrats must have a reason for taking the stance that no illegal aliens should be deported in the future. Another basic principle of immigration enforcement is that the Border Patrol and the interior federal immigration enforcement agency known as ICE can only detain illegal aliens who are subject to deportation or removal from the USA. Once the proposed Biden immigration non-enforcement policies come into effect, the Border Patrol and ICE will no longer be able to detain over 90% of the illegal aliens that they have been detaining and deporting or removing from the USA. Once that occurs tens of millions of illegal aliens, either now in the USA, or who will unlawfully enter the USA, or who overstay their temporary visa time limits will no longer be detained. Once illegal aliens are no longer subject to deportation they become eligible for all sorts of government benefits and US work permits.
The Democrats intend to grant amnesty to just about every illegal alien now in the USA or who will arrive in the future. The Democrats refer to their amnesty as a “path to citizenship” that is Democrat code for transforming as many millions of illegal aliens as possible, into what are called duel-nationals, a nationality status that would grant the illegal alien population eventual US citizenship while allowing them the right to maintain their home country citizenships and allegiances. Once in such a status the Democrat objective is to register tens of millions of those mostly all poor, uneducated, unskilled, and socialist oriented people as future Democrat voters.
The Democrats, unknowing stupid Republicans, and the media have been telling the American people for decades that the illegal alien population amounts to 11 million workers, but that is not true, as only about half of all illegal aliens work full time, and the real population figure is more like 22 million. Besides that, once granted amnesty all illegal aliens will gain the right to bring their foreign family members into the USA to join them. Nobody knows how many such foreign family members that could amount to, probably between 30-50 million additional foreign origin people from all over the world who the Democrats are saying must be treated equally with native born US citizens. With that many New Democrat voters the Democrats are bound to win all future elections and the USA will essentially become a one party State with the Congress and the White House always controlled by the leftist and liberal Democrats. Regardless of all that, there are establishment Republicans in the Congress who will vote for any Democrat amnesty to placate their business oriented donors and supporters lobbying efforts for an unlimited supply of cheap foreign labor to fill remaining American jobs that could not, for one reason or another, be sent abroad to low wage countries.

We have no border and we're accepting any and all comers as New Americans, so maybe the officers could be reassigned to combat white supremacy, which they say is Our Greatest Threat, on a par with Global Warming. Maybe stick Skateboard Bobby in as chairman and task them with "taking guns off the streets" too.
