The minimalist position is to prosecute people who, right out in the open, deliberately and illegally destroyed the federal government and ruined millions of lives.
Your periodic reminder that it’s really really really important to say that members of ICE are going to prosecuted for crimes they commit.
They know they are breaking the law.
You might be surprised by how quickly some of these cowards will react if they know they could face legal consequences.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
