I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

Please, every news outlet, stop using the word "deportation" when it comes to ICE's activities. Deportation is a legal process, they're kidnapping people and holding them illegally. Your terminology is normalizing what they're doing.

anyway ludicrous to think the right question is “how did DHS lose its way??” and not “why did we build a domestic security super agency in the first place, and who has that power served”

No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Having a deportation system that relies on alleged "criminal" conduct turns out to be a bad idea in a county where there are an infinite number of "crimes." It was also a choice made in 1996.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

The right thinks the left will fight to protect Bill Clinton. The actual left thinks the middle will fight to protect Bill Clinton. But I want to believe — tonight as winter creeps closer, and even the tiniest glimmer of hope is impossibly precious — that nobody would protect Bill Clinton.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
