“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” https://t.co/zttrmnW1jA

Constitutional lawyer here, Sir! ICE needs a warrant based upon probable cause signed by a neutral, impartial judge or magistrate under Article III to enter a person’s home. No executive branch edict or order from Trump or Noem can empower masked federal agents to override the
Tried asking Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, whether it’s appropriate for ICE to enter homes without a judicial warrant. “Ask a constitutional lawyer,” he said. “I'm a farmer.”

This is such a supreme screw you to the American people. Citizens are getting shot in the streets, families can’t afford health care or groceries, and @POTUS can’t even pretend to care.
As the country reeled from the murder of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club threw a party. Guests were greeted by women in showgirl outfits and sipped champagne by the pool watching entertainers floating in giant bubbles.

I would like @HouseJudiciary @JudiciaryDems to identify this agent. Conduct an on-camera deposition with him ASAP about this statement and why he feels empowered to make such a threat.

The Squeaker of the House @SpeakerJohnson hiding under the floorboards of the House. Not a drop of compassion or honor.
This feed has been silent in the 48 hours since Pretti was killed, even as other top House Republicans like Comer have said Trump should consider removing ICE from Minnesota.

Seems like a good time for a reminder - there is no statute of limitations on murder. Not in Massachusetts, not in Minnesota, not anywhere in the USA

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions &

My mom was stopped and harassed by masked ICE agents while shopping at an outlet mall in Texas. Because she has an accent, they assumed she spoke Spanish and started talking to her in Spanish. When she said she doesn’t speak Spanish, they began demanding where she was “from,”

Kelly and I enjoyed hosting our dear friend @MrsErikaKirk yesterday at the Capitol. What an inspiration she has been to so many countless millions of people around the world. Because of her faith and courage, the best days of @TPUSA are still ahead of us!

“[My father] had one problem,” Trump said. “…He started getting, what do they call it?” He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him. “Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said. “Like an Alzheimer’s thing,” Trump said. “Well, I don’t have it.”

This underscores the need for the business community to speak out, as business leaders in Minnesota did over weekend. Trump will probably not care that the Post, WSJ, NYT, and WaPo editorial boards are aligned in opposition to ICE tactics. He'll care about markets. 1/2
Trump had all Saturday and Sunday to say something and stop this, but he didn’t. Why did he wait until Sunday night? Stock futures were down 300 points.
