Rosal DeLauro has been a good Democrat over the years. But at 82 she is yet another Democratic leader in Cong. who no longer fits the moment we are in. She should have mentored younger leaders and retired a long time ago.
Time is now- she needs to retires or get primaried out b/c this is not ok.

To be clear, given the way she handled this, someone needs to consider a strong primary challenge. Her entire attitude is wrong. The things she likes that ICE does…can be assigned to other entities
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.
“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Local news is reporting that Le contracted with DOJ precisely because ICE is breaking the law so often and so seriously that DHS is being hammered with habeas petitions. Some people get what they deserve.
Not a DOJ attorney but a former ICE attorney who volunteered to help just a MONTH ago and is already having a nervous breakdown.
There are ethical considerations to quitting a case but it feels like begging the court to rule contempt because your client sucks does too.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
