Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

This is why it’s actually misleading for ICE to wear all those “POLICE” patches and IDs. They’re very much NOT police.
I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland didn’t signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions."

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

There you have it. Trump wants completely botched disaster responses led by incompetent politicians who refused to install flood warning sirens because taxes are socialism.

Can you imagine the sheer cruelty of looking at America right now and saying we should raise $1.2 billion by raising taxes 27% on people making under $15,000 a year — so that we can cut the taxes of people making over a million by a token 3 percent?! The cruelty astounds.
