ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

When liberal politicians frame ICE bloodthirst as a training problem, they are continuing a broader historical pattern wherein righteous political unrest is used to justify increases in police capacity.

If you wear the uniform, remember: when you are standing before a judge, “Trump told me to” or “I was just following orders” will not protect you.

Now we have conservatives pushing the idea that the military should carry out whatever Trump wants, even actions that violate sovereignty or international law. Drug trafficking isn't a capital crime, that isn't patriotism, and no JAG is going to save you after the fact.

Troops are trained on lawful vs unlawful orders. JAG briefs us on what is illegal in war. During my era, soldiers tortured Iraqi detainees and photographed it. Lynndie England did not act alone, but she was still convicted because illegal orders are never a defense.

“I was just following orders” will not save you, and conservatives demanding that service members obey Trump without question need to hear that.
