According to a recent DOJ memo, ICE can now enter your home without a warrant to search for socialists and Jews (sorry that was in the 1930s).
They can ostensibly now just ignore the 4th, 5th, and 15th amendments in pursuit of “foreign enemies.”

<p>It added that over 70,000 children across the territory are being hospitalised due to severe malnutrition amid Israel's total blockade on the strip.</p>
<p>“At a time when 1.1 million children daily lack the minimum nutritional requirements for survival, this crime is being perpetrated by the ‘Israeli’ occupation using starvation as a weapon, amid shameful international silence,” the statement said.</p>

If the GOP includes the REINS Act in a budget reconciliation package, it could bypass the filibuster and pass the Senate with a simple majority—giving Congress sweeping power to block or undo key public protections. Say goodbye to regulations that safeguard health, labor, and the environment.

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
