Tincher v. Noem now includes first-hand evidence of a fatal federal shooting. When force precedes verified threat and documentation trails the act, the constitutional sequence fails. Courts must intervene to halt enforcement that outruns due process.

This tragedy — another American killed — shows that existing oversight is insufficient. Senators have a responsibility to ensure constitutional limits are respected. Please use your oversight and funding authorities to demand transparency, records, and accountability before more lives are lost.

When corroborated harm persists, the Senate’s duty is oversight.
That means hearings, records, conditions — and appropriations control if needed.
Authorization pauses until constitutional limits are restored.
