Unasked for interjection: Our susceptibility to belief in charismatic sociopaths who utilize the rest of the population for their own enrichment, and the organizational "machines" that have been created to enable that: government, corporations, and last but certainly not least organized religion.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

The people who set the marching cadence for MAGA seem to be rather indifferent to the suffering and dying of the poors. It would make their klepto-budgets so much easier to slurp up if there weren't all these "useless eaters" hanging around.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.
The injunction is silent as to the use
of force. And it is not necessary for the injunction to address
that use-of-force question because the Fourth Amendment’s
reasonableness standard continues to govern the officers’
use of force and to prohibit excessive force.
To the extent that excessive force has been used, the
Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies
should be available in federal court. I agree with the
dissent on that point. But to reiterate, this injunction
against brief stops for questioning does not address the useof-force issue.
