HUGE: A joint Democratic House-Senate panel has declared the ICE shootings UNJUSTIFIED. REP. ROBERT GARCIA: “Every single one of them has to be held accountable for the crimes…for the terror…for the murders…You don't get a license to kill, and there's no absolute immunity.”

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

This is the authoritarian tell:
If a judge rules against your preferred outcome, declare the judge illegitimate.
If that mindset takes hold, courts stop being guardrails and become targets.
