Day after day in Minneapolis, ordinary people have pulled out their phones and documented ICE & Border Patrol's actions, often in the face of threats and tear gas. They showed the world the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But what happens when the camera is in ICE’s hands? 1/11

The Insurrection Act lets the president deploy the military on American soil. It's dangerously vague. Learn more: bit.ly/3GsFBhL
The Insurrection Act, Explained
The vague and rarely used law gives the president broad power to deploy the military domestically — but it’s not a blank check.

Trump nevertheless issued 2 orders in the fall that purported to broaden the scope of domestic terrorism, with the effect of criminalizing opposition to the administration's policies, including constitutionally protected ideology & non-criminal activities. 3/12 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
Trump’s Orders Targeting Anti-Fascism Aim to Criminalize Opposition
Purporting to go after “domestic terrorism,” the president presents an imagined left-wing conspiracy and authorizes punishments for even tenuous connections to speech the administration doesn’t like.

This is outrageous and un-American. Full stop. Let's start with the basics: being an observer or a protester does not make you a "domestic terrorist," as I explained shortly after an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good. 1/12 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The president can’t declare war or lock someone up without a fair hearing. That’s why we have Congress. That’s why we have courts. That’s why we have a Constitution. Stand up for checks and balances. Protect due process. Protect democracy.
