Q: What leverage do you have to try to force Republicans to make ICE an issue in funding debate?
JEFFRIES: Continuing to ratchet up intensity of public pressure is important to push a handful of our GOP colleagues to join us & make sure ICE conducts itself like every other law enforcement agency

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously:

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.
This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:

2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

The people protesting right now pretty obviously aren't being paid. But every time someone makes this dumb argument, it's also worth pointing out that it's isn't a crime to pay people to protest, nor is it a crime accept money to protest.
