Also, if we’re being blunt, the purpose of nonviolent resistance isn’t to avoid getting your ass kicked. It’s to dare them to kick your ass as brutally and publicly as possible.

If any Senate Dem @democrats.senate.gov decided to do one of those moves where they try a speaking record, they could do so with the stories of people *detained (or worse) by* ICE who were not criminals, or got here legally, or even are citizens

The Trump administration is deporting a Christian minister back to the country that tortured him, which seems like the kind of thing the Religious Right would care about if a dirty Democrat were doing it.
“I followed the rules. I’ve done great in the community. I’ve never abused any of the conditions of the stay or of my supervision…I’m so scared, I cannot go back."
ICE brutally detained a minister in Vermont. Now, the Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.

Yeah I think these officials should just straight up say what the issue is. It's a full-on authoritarian crackdown and they are not doing more about it because they either cannot or will not. Whichever it is should be stated plainly IMO
Your constituents lives have been turned over entirely because of a federal occupation. That you’re pulling your punches because you’re worried about it becoming a constitutional crisis is overlooking what is already happening. You need to at least communicate that you understand what is happening.

The real news here is Peter Navarro saying lower jobs numbers *are good* because they (supposedly) indicate fewer immigrants are working in the US. Trump-MAGA ideology values sheer numbers of removals over pretty much all else because their top priority is ethnic reengineering.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
