Any business helping ICE is aiding & abetting in a crime as long as they’re abducting people without due process.

Something that I'm reading between the lines in all these ICE abuses is that it's pretty clear they're under insane pressure for numbers numbers numbers from Miller and co. and the agents are having meltdowns when they come back without people.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

So we know it’s illegal for military service members to carry out illegal orders…
why isn’t it illegal for presidents to GIVE illegal orders? Oh, b/c a 1974 OLC memo says a sitting POTUS cannot be criminally indicted and SCOTUS granted immunity for all official actions— like giving illegal orders?
