They're arresting Members of Congress.
Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.
Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

Holy shit. ICE has detained Mayor Baraka. This is a chilling attack on dissent 🚨🚨🚨
Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now.
Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?"
Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

By adopting the Right’s framing and problem diagnosis on immigration, Democratic leaders have not merely been compromising on a policy issue, they have been lending legitimacy to the very core of the ethno-nationalist project - basically telling voters the Trumpists are kinda right, actually.
immigration +4 is what happens when the entire Dem establishment goes “well republicans are completely right about immigration being an existential menace and we’re actually the tough ones”
people start thinking “deport people to foreign prisons” is a good idea

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
