If you - or anyone you talk to - expressing any doubts about this case being nothing but a blatant bribery attempt, then read this from @wsj.com
Taking bribes from a foreign power, in direct violation of national security, is treason.

Chuck Schumer wants to fund more ICE controlled body worn cameras that will inevitably be hooked into that Palantir facial recognition system, so maybe the two of you should have a little chat?
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

In case you needed a reminder, there was no de-escalation.
Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.
And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.
Sit with that.
