Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic"

1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property
2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention
3) No masks
4) No secret police: Officers must have ID
5) Keep enforcement away from
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction.

It's a tour de force:

Footage from the witness in pink who managed to save the footage from ICE coverup. Clearly shows the murder of the man in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Trump regime ICE forces.

They had already taken his gun before they murdered him.
Moments before the first shot is fired, this federal agent can be seen retreating with a gun. It appears to match the general appearance of the firearm posted by DHS, including the red dot sight. This agent’s back is turned when the first shot occurs. x.com/BillMelugin_...

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

This is insane. INSANE. Without any legal basis at all, this memo says ICE doesn't need a warrant (or probable cause) to break into someone's home to arrest them. It's like a memo that says, "Actually, you DON'T have the right to remain silent."
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

Justice Kavanaugh: this is ok if the house is brown
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is incredible. It's the opposite of exculpatory. It's now even clearer that the killing was not at all justified, he was in no sense whatsoever in any serious danger, and indeed it looks very much like the shooting was retribution and nothing more.
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

This is not correct. See 3U.S.C. as well as the election of 1872. If a state sends no votes (or if its votes are disqualified) they do not count towards the total.
No, you need a majority of the whole number of electors appointed, not just a majority of ballots cast:

“I didn’t love the idea of protecting pedophiles, but it was ultimately the right thing to do,” explained the Republican, “because that was the only way I could hurt the economy, get secret police tear-gassing kids, end Constitutional democracy, and pocket some cash while I’m at it.

Lol. I dont subscribe to WSJ anymore, but come on man. Republicans trashed the fillibuster in September. What is this "never" nonsense?
A growing number of GOP lawmakers say their party should kill or change the filibuster to end the government shutdown, which is approaching a full month.
