Perhaps the ultimate deal should be that after any "reforms" are *permanently* codified, ICE funding would be appropriated from now on a *biweekly* (or at most monthly) basis so that Congress will hold a fiscal Sword of Damocles over the agency ....

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

A pair of Boston-area immigration groups have sued ICE over a policy that authorizes federal agents to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant, saying the practice undermines the Fourth Amendment's protections against illegal searches and seizures.
Boston lawsuit aims to stop 'warrantless home invasions' by ICE
Lawyers say the Lyons memo undermines rights that legal advocacy groups try to help immigrants protect; they typically advise people to request a judicial warrant if ICE appears at their home.

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
