Wow! I canโ€™t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.

Iโ€™m taking the Senate floor to share the story of whatโ€™s happening in Minnesota at the hands of ICE and CBP โ€“ but more importantly, Iโ€™ll be imploring my colleagues (regardless of party) to use our power to rein in ICEโ€™s lawlessness.

Tune in at 3:10pm CT/4:10pm ET

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

From Senator Chris McDaniel: โ€œLately, some folks have taken to calling ICE โ€œthe Gestapo.โ€  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isnโ€™t true, and it isnโ€™t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isnโ€™t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  Thatโ€™s not tyranny.  Thatโ€™s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  Thatโ€™s a republic doing what itโ€™s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement โ€œthe Gestapo,โ€ you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we wonโ€™t need to borrow names from history.  Weโ€™ll know exactly what weโ€™re dealing with.

And weโ€™ll wish weโ€™d kept our words honest.โ€

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. Itโ€™s a performative show of force and itโ€™s gotten way out of hand.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

This is illegal and unconstitutional. Congress should swiftly take action to rein in this regime but wonโ€™t because Republicans are cowards. So Dems should be loudly escalating opposition to the regime. No Kings, No Wars.

Bigger than Teapot Dome in terms of scandals, but in the age of Trump, it doesn't even raise an eyebrow: Karen Budd-Falen, the No. 3 at the Interior Department, didnโ€™t disclose a $3.5m water-rights contract between her husband and the developers of a Nevada mine approved by Interior.
