Democrats are trying to pass bills in the House and Senate to fund every part of DHS except ICE. Republicans are blocking those bills, forcing TSA agents to go without pay and causing massive disruptions at our airports.

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*." Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot. The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

Yo @governor.pa.gov I’m quickly becoming a single issue voter on who is protecting constitutional rights and has a plan to prosecute those involved in violating those rights! Don’t take my vote for granted! #NoICE #Philly

This White House is sparking conflict and then pouring gasoline on the fire. It's Minneapolis today, but tomorrow it could be any other city, state, or town they decide to target. Every American should be concerned, because all of our rights are at stake.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Kevin Patullo is an easy target, IMO. He isn’t bringing anything to the offense, but… - Ultimately, it’s Nick’s offense. - Nick is directing big-picture in-game strategy (ie. give-up plays, etc.) - Nick hired him. That’s where frustration should be directed.

Eagles waste a possession at the end of the first half by essentially taking a knee with 17 seconds and 2 timeouts, and then have the first drive of the second half get ruined by a mental error. They have failed to step on throats with nice leads this season.

I get maybe if the Cowboys had missed a 64-yard field goal, the Eagles could have had time to get in position to kick one. But the chance of that wasn't worth stopping the clock for the Cowboys by using the timeout.

George Retes, a 25-year-old Army veteran and father of two, had been planning his three-year-old daughter’s Minnie Mouse birthday party at the park for weeks. Those plans fell apart last week when Retes – a US citizen – was detained by federal immigration agents. cnn.it/3GUP3hB
