It's not too late for a political solution. If Congress stopped abdicating it's constitutional duty all these problems could be solved quickly. If you're in the US, visit your representatives offices IN PERSON, calling is a distant second best.

Every senator and rep has to be replaced. They’ve funded DHS / ICE with more money at every opportunity since they created it.

That's extreme and unreasonable. There are 100 or so mostly D that don't take any PAC or foreign influence bribes.

US senators request for visit forms are just for show if you're not "important". That said maybe just requesting an in person visit is enough. I would definitely not recommend just showing up at a US senator's public office building (and you probably didn't mean this, just making it clear for everyone).

What does this do?

The political solution is 30 year term limits for Senate and House (5 terms and 15 terms respectively). The current system lack of term limits incentivizes inaction

Term limits for elective office are fake, nonworking solution to problems caused by a broken electoral system; the solution is to fix the electoral system, not to impose term limits (which solve nothing.)

This seems too long? Why not 2 and 3 terms? 12 years aught to be enough for anyone.

And sadly

The courts could also use term limits.

Also the cap on members of the house should be removed.

Also the electoral college should be removed or reworked.

... the list of impossible* things goes on.
