Even if people protest in Lafayette Square, so what? What makes it the President’s personal preserve? Are we a better country when the President can remove any hint of dissent from his gaze?

One (or all) of the following is happening: - ICE is intentionally conducting insultingly bad FOIA searches to screw requesters out of records about the agency's use of force. - It is failing to create records, or improperly destroying the ones it generates. All scenarios are unlawful.
