The one consistent aspect of this regime: there is no plan. No plan for foreign policy, for domestic policy, for legal strategy. There are only as hoc responses to the mood swings of a petulant old man, a doddering chaos agent lashing out moment by moment. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Under Secretary Noem, ICE has violated our constitutional rights and defied court orders. Two of my constituents are dead. Secretary Noem just admitted there are still 650 ICE agents in Minnesota, still outnumbering sworn Minneapolis police officers. ICE must get out now.

This analysis by the New York Times paints a damning picture of ICE's decision to kill Alex Pretti after Pretti had attempted to help a woman who had been shoved (assaulted) by ICE. ICE had Pretti pinned on the ground when one agent appears to come across a gun. After taking the gun, they kill him.

ICE policy on use of force states that an agent doesn’t need to wait for an attack to start before using force. In criminal law, an overt threatening act is required to sustain a claim of self defense. An administrative policy that permits recklessness is not exculpatory.

In the past, when some national tragedy occurred, political and law enforcement leaders would issue statements calling for calm and promising a full and transparent investigation. Under Trump, top federal officials announced their conclusion before the investigation began and vilified the victim.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.
“The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation. He said that the U.S. will “run the country” until a proper transition can take place and went right into how U.S. oil companies will benefit from this takeover. He doesn’t understand the risks and costs involved with these poorly thought-out decisions that don’t make Americans any safer today than they were yesterday.  

  
“Nicolás Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator who deserves to face justice. I want the people of Venezuela to be free to choose their own future, but if we learned anything from the Iraq war, it’s that dropping bombs or toppling a leader doesn’t guarantee democracy, stability, or make Americans safer. More often, it leads to chaos or drags the U.S. into a war and lengthy occupation. I don’t trust that this administration has a plan, timeline, or price tag for what comes next. 
  
“Over the past year, Trump’s foreign policy has been reckless, chaotic, self-serving, and unconstitutional. Congress should vote this week to reassert its authority on behalf of the American people before he oversteps again. I also want to recognize the professionalism and skill of the American service members involved in this operation. While I don’t agree with the administration’s justification for this, I’m thankful that no service members were killed or seriously injured.”
