It's funny that they think that. There are no laws on the books that allow the president to authorize committing murder, even on terrorists, without a resolution from Congress. They are by long definition, acts of war. And the president does not have the authority to commit them.

Lakeview Street Tear-Gassed By Agents Amid North Side Immigration Surge: 'It Hit Home' Friday's detentions and standoff marked the most high-profile federal activity in Lakeview and Lincoln Park yet, leaving some neighbors shaken.

ICE detains husband of Democratic congressional candidateโ€”who is also a disabled U.S. Army veteran.

He is wheelchair boundโ€”after suffering severe injury during training for deployment in Iraq.

Agents arrested him at his naturalization hearingโ€”he is already a green card holder.
