Dems need to demand Miller's removal as a condition of funding for DHS past the 2-week CR. There are two weeks for them to plaster this judge's ruling into their public statements, constituent newsletters, TV hits, and more.
Remember, those daily quotas are the sick brainchild of one Stephen Miller. Just unfathomably awful that one person's hatefulness drives so much government policy.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

So this provides motive for pre-meditated murder.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

1/2 🧵Most people think the fight is “immigration.”
It’s not.
It’s the quiet attempt to turn administrative paperwork into something that behaves like a judge-signed warrant…especially at the front door.
