Trump just now claims he hadn't heard Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller calling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist, then adds that Pretti "certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun."
"I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That's a lot of bad stuff."

I just joined Rep. Robin Kelly‘s articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem.
Under her direction, DHS and ICE are creating chaos, and endangering lives in our communities with impunity. I’m fighting to restore accountability by leading commonsense bills like the No Masks For ICE Act.

Kristi Noem must be impeached.
I wrote all of this up (including how we got to this point doctrinally) in a recent issue of my newsletter. Here's the non-paywalled version:

Bonus 182: Damages as a (Missing) Deterrent
It's worth reflecting on how different things might look right now if federal officers—or the federal government itself—faced a meaningful specter of monetary liability for constitutional violations.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Gotta say, the establishment resistance to "abolish ice" is starting to feel a lot like the resistance to "Impeach" -it's just loser shit. A ridiculous attempt at civility in the face of a furious (and what will eventually be called unrelenting) civilian effort to assert their rights
These rhetorical devices do not work. The public is being presented with an absolute - “ice is protecting us from evil brown hordes” - if you try to respond to this with some tortured narrative of ice not being Gestapo but just “poorly trained” the stronger message wins.
Buddy. Do you not understand this is a rhetorical device for normies? To illustrate just how out of control these clowns are.
