"If, as Noem said on Thursday, the administration’s view is that anyone 'surrounding' any person involved in a Kavanaugh stop can have their citizenship questioned — a Kavanaugh stop once removed, if you will — then virtually anyone in the U.S. could find themselves subject to a Kavanaugh stop."
Noem says that virtually anyone could face a Kavanaugh stop
Trump started off the day with an Insurrection Act threat. DHS Sec. Noem followed up by saying that anyone "surrounding" any DHS target has to prove their legal status.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Since there has been a lot of talk of denaturalizing people. This case is worth remembering: Trop v. Dulles. The Supreme Court is basically saying making someone stateless is a fate worse than death. ⚖️ I taught this in Trump 1.0. It's back on my syllabus. 📜 supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

You don't fight tooth and nail to stop an investigation or the displaying of files and photos that courts have ordered shown to the public if you don't have something to hide. There must be things in the Epstein files that scare the hell out of him.
