“ICE, their secret police, is their tool,” said Michelle Brané, a human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office under Biden. “Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.”

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force

Trump's DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents' anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

Per usual, Trump has lied about every aspect of this. He now says it'll cost 50% more than when he announced it. He now says it'll be much bigger than originally planned. He said he wouldn't touch the East Wing, and he's now demolishing it. He said he would accept input from US agencies, but hasn't.

President Donald Trump has proceeded with enormous latitude as he constructs his massive new ballroom, bypassing concerns raised by preservationists and so far stopping short of seeking approval from ...

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Reporter: "If Congress is likely to approve that process, why not just ask for a declaration of war?"

Trump: "I don’t think we will necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just going to kill people who are bringing drugs into our country... They're gonna be, like, dead."

Question: would police officers typically point guns at family members like this?

Would they typically bruise up children? Would they say they're gonna blow your head off to an unarmed mom in front of her kids?

ICE did that to this family.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to yours!

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
