Again, there is no legislative fix for the magnitude of the authoritarian crimes being committed daily. Everyone is just pretending at this point:

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Let’s murder an innocent, GOOD citizen, then get our best pal to investigate it.
This morning, MSNOW reported that the Alex Pretti homicide is being investigated by “Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Professional Responsibility”…

Or, former Border Patrol agents from the agency’s secret, illegal *coverup* teams

“Key figures in the administration are pointing fingers at one another. Trump is blaming Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. Bovino’s boss Kristi Noem is blaming Stephen Miller, per Axios. Miller is blaming Border Patrol. And Border Patrol is big mad at ICE, per POLITICO’s Myah Ward and colleagues.”

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

If I recall correctly, Tarrio never even defended himself in this case. This was a default judgment. Now, that's a lot of whining for refusing to give the court your phone number.
Henry "Enrique" Tarrio is going through some new shit.

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career.

What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?
There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Days after the killing of Renee Good, Stephen Miller and DHS began bragging that ICE agents have immunity from being held accountable.

There's a bill sitting in Congress that would end that immunity - and Democrats could right now use their sudden leverage to force its passage.

Pass it on.
How Dems Could End Immunity For ICE Agents
Steven Miller and DHS are bragging that ICE agents have immunity. Democratic senators could change that by conditioning their votes on passage of a bill already in Congress.

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.

This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.
