Waiting for the results of any cases challenging a traffic stop or forced entry, in times and vehicles, based on administrative warrants or lack of any warrants. If ICE is operating on emergency circumstances or even broad immigration powers, a court should review and rule on that justification.
If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

There should be a flood of constitutional claims against this administration for each and every violation - whether it's based on profiling, excessive force, or breaching the 4th amendment.
Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Just saw Mexodus Off-Broadway. What an amazing show. Here's to it making a Broadway run and to more stories of how people have come together to help each other. And how there was a time people fleed South from the US looking for freedom and a better life.

This is such a bad road we're going down. At some point, we're not even going to remember who threw the first punch or why. It's just going to be an endless cycle of offensive and counter-offensive, with stacked up grievances driving the fued.
