As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Trump to federalize Illinois National Guard, Pritzker says
βThis morning, the Trump Administrationβs Department of War gave me an ultimatum," Pritzker said.
Pritzker should mobilize them first. The entire Illinois Army National Guard. Order them to protect Illinois residents from menacing outsiders, regardless of who they work for.

I canβt believe that as recently as a few months ago, the consensus Democratic Party position, even on the left, was that you couldnβt call to βabolish ICE.β
Good luck to the Democratic candidates who run in 2028 while opposing the abolition of ICE.
