The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Wonder Man is perhaps the most un-Marvel MCU show ever. More FX than Marvel. It's also a fantastic and very realistic look at a working actor's life in LA

Destin Daniel Cretton sets the show's rhythm at an indie pace, which is refreshing, but hardcore fans may hate it

Ben Kingsley is Emmy-worthy

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.
