Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

Q 1 is if this happened. it would not be a typical emoluments clause style ripoff the taxpayers. Far worse, it would be collusion w/ the DOJ which is supposed to vigorously defend against such lawsuit and that taxpayer's interests, and an amount untethered to any law.
We’re suing to expose records related to President Trump’s stunning effort to pocket $230 million in taxpayer dollars as a payout for investigations into his own misconduct.
The public deserves answers about this self-enrichment scheme. We’ll get them in court.

This ad from the far-right Heritage Foundation repeats threats made directly by Trump, Vance, and others: "Do exactly as Trump wants, or he will cut off all funding for your state."
Hopefully these types of threats, which underline that Trump is a dangerous dictator wanna-be, will backfire bigly.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
