This is currently the most shared story for @nytimes.com and on the one hand, good. It has on the ground detail of ICE flagrantly abusing the rights of a US citizen, clearly in part bc of his skin color.
However, from the start, it frames things poorly (IMHO).

🚨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.

The Insurrection Act in no way whatsoever suspends, closes, or bypasses the courts. It is not a suspension of habeas corpus. It is not martial law. It does not authorize rule by decree. It allows using troops for law enforcement but that's it. It's not an instant dictatorship switch.

The big problem with relying on new laws to restrict what ICE can or can't do is that there are already laws that they're flagrantly disregarding. If there's no accountability for cold blooded murder, then why would there be for illegally wearing a mask?
