Welcome to the madness. Be prepared for politics, dad jokes, puns, and analytical shenanigans. You’ve been warned.
Buckle up.

So…this person’s revolutionary political act has been…throwing their vote away for a decade (which clearly hasn’t worked) and they think this should convince us to do likewise?

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

ICE was already PREFUNDED for 4 YEARS in the OBBB passed in July. The money is in a slush fund. So if you give away the rest you give away everything. Do these people think we are stupid? They must.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

The presidential oath of office includes a vow to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution, but this one is literally mocking other leaders for doing just that.

On immigration, Democrats already tried saying nativists have a point, the Statue of Liberty is wrong, we can be anti- too (though not quite as harshly). Put it into a 2024 bill and everything. Didn't work.
Labour's trying something similar in the UK. Also failing.
Maybe try pro-immigrant instead?

Sure, Noem should be impeached or resign. However, anyone who thinks this will fix anything, without the removal of Stephen Miller, is deluding themselves.
Miller will cause Republicans to lose the House, if not the Senate, in upcoming elections with his immigration policies and hateful agenda.

Even though a court had granted the habeas petition, Kira Kelley’s “client … was being told that she would be transferred to Sherburne County jail to be detained for the duration of her pending immigration proceedings unless she signed self-deportation papers prior to the transfer going through.”

25. This Cibola jail was horrible. It was cramped. I was chained up again.
The officers mocked
me and called me their enemy. They laughed at me. I was kept at the jail for what felt like around three hours. I wasn't given an explanation for why I was there.
26. Security
guards then put me on a bus. I think it was around January 27.
No one said
anything about where I was going. I was handcuffed. It felt like the middle of the night. It was freezing cold in the bus because the driver had the AC on. We had no jackets. The bus eventually took me back to El Paso in the carly morning of Tuesday, January 27th.
27. I was put in a cold cell where I had to sleep on the bare cement floor. Around 10 in the morning my cellmate asked to speak to an ICE officer. Three officers came into the cell so I had a chance to speak to them too. One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." She told me that if I fought my case, I would spend two to three more months here in El Paso. She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota. If I hadn't managed to talk to my attorney who told me a while back that I was ordered released. I might have given up at this point and signed the self-deportation forms because the conditions were so unbearable.
…
30. When I was taken back to the detention center from the airport, after missing the flight, I overheard an ICE officer saying in English, "the judge in Minnesota wants this one back." I was put in a cold jail cell again until early next morning (January 28). But again no one had told me directly that a judge had ordered my release
…
32. When I arrived in Minneapolis, I was handed off to ICE
… I had to sign lots of papers saying that I wasn't going to be a part of any "groups." I didn't know what they meant by "groups." They never told me why I was detained](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5cn3kbi4g5blrtahon34xbu4/bafkreiccqxmfncofjqinoveiqscwale2ox5xpiqt46veqjdh3jmimkrxhq@jpeg)
