ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident. But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?

The White House doesn’t offer a plausible legal rationale because the orders are illegal. Various lawyers wouldn’t sign off on it because the orders are illegal. Trump flipped out at veterans saying don’t follow illegal orders because he’s giving illegal orders. Real Occam’s razor situation here.

The indictment charges the protesters committed such unforgivable offenses as “banging on a government vehicle” and “making an ICE agent drive slow.” Hard to imagine what First Amendment protest rights exist if this is now a crime.

The current work stoppage in the House is really unusual for a non-midterm year. It isn't about the shutdown; the House cast votes in October 2013 despite one. And it started earlier — about when Grijalva won her election. www.pbump.net/o/remember-t...
