They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

Trump has fired or pushed out more than 100 immigration judges since January and just paused all asylum decisions.

This is an absolute must-read. The number of people otherwise eligible for bond and release that are now being detained is gobsmacking.
#ICYMI: I wrote about the chaotic flood of immigration detention cases caused by the Trump administration's attempt to reclassify *millions* of migrants who have lived here for years/decades as "arriving aliens," and the remarkably broad (and growing) array of federal judges who keep rejecting it:
195. The Immigration Detention Flood
The Trump administration's attempt to quietly—but massively—expand who can be detained pending their removal has been met with overwhelming pushback from a remarkably large number of district courts.

1/Hegseth is now boosting posts claiming the “kill everybody” reporting is a “lie.” At the same time, he frames the strike as Bradley’s decision. He is publicly removing himself from the chain of causation while placing responsibility on the operational commander.

When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

Now juxtapose Hegseth's vile little cartoon with this line from the Post report on the latest horror:
"If the video of the blast that killed the two survivors on Sept. 2 were made public, people would be horrified, said one person who watched the live feed."

Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.
