Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Having brown skin is not probable cause to ask someone to prove their status. That's against the US Constitution. It's against the 4th amendment. That is happening constantly. People are being beaten when they inform ICE of their rights.
Shut this down!

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.

It remains completely inexcusable that no other armed authorities are intervening to defend basic civil rights.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

🚨"We've got a Honduran here"
A SWARM of Border Patrol agents violently invaded a Minneapolis gas station—crushing car windows, tackling and brutalizing drivers, and taking several. We've confirmed at least one of them was U.S. CITIZEN Lalo Rios Meza.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country.
They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

First of all, good for her for calmly standing her ground and ignoring all the empty threats -- "we're gonna put you in the car and ID you!" -- until these goons give up and slink away.
Second, the irony of masked agents of the state with no name plates demanding *other* people identify themselves?

This "officer" (whatever they're to be called) should be immediately arrested, no question about it. This is illegal as fuck. And Minnesota MUST enforce this! These guys cannot have a blank check to kill more people.

Problem: Plastic pollution permeates peoples’ parts.
Proposed solutions:
1) Stop spending taxpayers’ money to subsidize the fossil fuel industry.
2) Scale up scientific research to develop non-harmful plastic alternatives.
3) Enact a global ban on single use plastics.
Other suggestions?

The reason folks are focusing on DHS's refusal to honor Real IDs is that it means that the Trump regime is asserting the right to detain anyone in America, resident or visitor, without probable cause. It's an erasure of habeas corpus for all Americans.

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.
