Not enough people have paid any attention to civil forfeiture or police interdiction tactics.

Government so small it fits in the jetbridge of your flight and forces you to agree to a warrantless facial scan or be removed from the flight.
New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

This is the same nonsense thought behind qualified immunity, but for policy.
"We don't have evidence that _this_ policy is bad, we need that before we will know for certain."
No, you don't! The policy was bad the first 100 times it was implemented, it will be bad again!

It’s important to crunch the numbers given all the nonsense this administration spouts, but also worth stressing we didn’t actually need new research to know this is how tariffs work. It’s well known, it’s what virtually every economist said, & the administration just plunged ahead delusionally.
A new study show that Americans - not foreigners - have payed 96% of the tariffs so far. Here's the WSJ:

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.
This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

In the summer 2020, when people were suggesting that we defund the police, this sort of answer was still politically acceptable to most people.
This is not 2020, we haven't defunded anything but social services, and look what the cops are doing. This answer is not only unacceptable, it's laughable.

Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

This amendment would be an easy fix that @ij.org has been pushing for years.
But we also need Congress to eliminate the judge-made loopholes to 1983 like qualified immunity.
But we also need Congress to eliminate the judge-made loopholes to 1983 like qualified immunity.
It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
