ICE uses a battering ram to break in.
They have no judicial warrant & threaten the lady of the house repeatedly.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to you!
Call your 2 Senators & your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121.
Demand accountability for #ICELawlessness!

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

We don't need to give ICE agents more training. We need to subject them to rigorous oversight and, when they commit crimes, we need to prosecute them.
The only education they need is to learn that they can and will be held accountable for what they do in the field.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

Can we please have Trump’s plan to have taxpayers reimburse oil companies for their costs in Venezuela put in an appropriations bill so representatives of the people can vote on the record whether they support that like the Founders intended? Congress still exists, right?
