Breaking! (Or Is It Broken?)

Well, if we could make it retroactive…. I’m frankly surprised it’s WaPo. Not an editorial comment, just that they even ran it. No good deed goes unpunished. At least the Ford employee wasn’t obscene in public. I don’t think it’s a strategy. I think it’s dominance display. I think they’re counting coup. This woman, for example, turned onto the street where ICE was conducting operations, and protesters were …protesting. She just needed to make her appointment. ICE shouted at her to leave; they shouted at her to stay put. They broke a window, cut her seat belt, dragged her from the car. Who will pay for the damages, who will restore her peace of mind? Nobody. And that’s the point. Dominance, is the point.

It’s the only point.
Well, not now now, but in 2 weeks. Maybe the first quarter; third or fourth quarter, at the latest. Maybe sometime in 2027. Trump will only have been in the job 24 months by then. He inherited a mess. He’s never responsible. Only other people are.

Consider Minnesota. No, not Minneapolis; fraudulent use of government funds.That was prosecuted by Biden. Now six of the top prosecutors have quit, because they were told to open a criminal investigation of Rachel Good’s wife.

Fraud on the federal government is the responsibility of the federal government to investigate and prosecute. But Trump wants DOJ prosecutors prosecuting his enemies. He doesn’t care about the fraud; he wants to use that to beat up his enemies, too. He absolves himself of responsibility as head of the federal executive by blaming state officials. So he doesn’t have to pursue fraud; the DOJ can pursue his enemies; and Trump has an issue to distract from his failures. A distraction from the fact that he’s not governing at all.
See? Sadly, with Harmeet Dhillon running the Civil Rights Division of DOJ, ICE has de facto, if not dr jure, absolute immunity. One more reason to, at least, ABOLISH ICE.
Abolish ICE.

What we’ve seen recently isn’t immigration enforcement; it’s state-sponsored terrorism.

They refuse to comply with the Constitution.

They assault Americans with impunity. They hide behind masks, knowing their actions are shameful.

They should not exist.

Immigration enforcement can be done lawfully and accountably—upholding the rights of the people—but the administration has no interest in that.

They’re using the context of immigration as a pretext to sidestep constitutional limits—warrants, due process, and transparency—that protect us all from government abuses.

We need immigration enforcement that respects the Constitution, not an agency that evades it.
It’s not the total solution, but, you gotta start somewhere. Watch it, or you’re next.
