Masked “ICE Agents” with assault weapons and tactical gear are a ridiculous escalation when the reality is that you are arresting moms, bus boys, and college students.
Are they are looking for an excuse for violence?

US treaties are part of the supreme law of the land.
I question whether a presidential directive to the US military to invade and annex the territory of a NATO ally would be a "lawful order."

It’s a long “memorandum,” but it’s essentially telling Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to go after lawyers who challenge the federal government — which is many lawyer’s jobs.
It’s basically a catch-all “let’s Paul Weiss whoever pisses us off” memo.

This is excellent news if you are extremely wealthy and commit a lot of complicated tax fraud.
For everyone else, fewer agents won't make enforcement less likely, because they just pull the info from W-2s and 1099s and the like and if the computer says it doesn't match then that's that.

Straight-up theft by the Trump admin from relief contractors and aid workers, carried out in open mockery of the good faith and credit of the U.S. government.
NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.**
One of the cut-off programs in Syria couldn’t afford security and was robbed by masked men.
