Every few weeks we get a story like this and it always fizzle out. Stephen Miller is in control. Let's not pretend otherwise. Even when Brooke Rollins convinced Trump to *publicly* say he'd back off of some raids, it took Miller just 48 hours to browbeat Trump into changing his mind.
Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.

New party identification polling from Gallup this week shows Americans are moving against Trump faster than they did in his first term. Adults were R+4 in 2024, now D+8. That 12-pt drop is 3x the change in the first year of his first term.

They’re going after U.S. citizens on the grounds of validating citizenship. What they are doing is illegal. There is no federal law that says you have to carry proof of citizenship. Discriminatory stops are against the law.

"I was scared. I was devastated," said a Somali-American citizen who was accosted by ICE as part of what the agent called a "citizen check." No such thing exists in American law.

Let me tell you why Trump is going to have a hard time suspending elections. In less than a week, we’re going to have 25 Democratic governors. That’s half of the country. If he tries, those governors are going to tell him to fuck off. Why? Because elections are controlled by the states.

If it were me, it's time to get that information to the House Democrats at the Oversight Committee. Or any of the Democrats who signed the articles of impeachment.
This is evidence.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

DEAR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS‼️
stop talking like there is any possibility of making ICE a better ICE. It’s not happening.
ICE needs to go. Period.
What are you saying? “Let’s make slave catchers nicer.” It’s moral nonsense.
