New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

The idea that they are hamstrung is their own propaganda. Few people in the world have as much power, freedom of movement and action as Democrats at a national level. They could use that freedom to resist, but doing so might cost them. So they are busy maintaining and fundraising off the chaos

Reminder: the Dems aren't "doing nothing", they're doing exactly what they want to be doing. They're not failing to be opposition, they're succeeding at staying in power as part of a fascist regime.

Note that there's an official autopsy, in addition to this private one.

It's possible that the official one, which results Trump probably knows, is what led Trump to say Jonathan Ross "made a mistake."
