When people around you don’t know why the government is partially shut down, read them this story. Tell them the government is partially shut down because Republicans insist on THIS continuing and are willing to sacrifice FEMA and the TSA over it.

ICE stopped a U.S. citizen, smashed her car window, dragged her into the street, and tossed her passport after reading it. Agents hid behind masks, refused to identify themselves, then walked away once they decided she “didn’t count” as deportable prey.

The administration took the next logical step in the stunning capitulation of social media giants to Trump. It has convinced them to rat on Americans who criticize ICE.
Without a peep, major tech companies have complied.

Democrats must stand firm on this point. Compliance with a protection present at the birth of our republic should be “non-negotiable.” If complying with the Constitution is intolerable, ICE must be abolished and replaced with an agency that views the Constitution as its charter, not an obstacle.

The requirement of a warrant based on probable cause to enter a person’s home is a touchstone of the Bill of Rights. According to John Adams, the British practice of issuing “general writs” authorizing unbounded searches of homes led to the “first Act of opposition” in the Revolution.
