616thatguy wrote this about ICE: "So basically, every other day someone has died in their custody. That’s intentional. That doesn’t happen by accident. If someone where I work died, we’d be having meetings for days and we’d have new protocols in place by the end of the week."

"The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man ... This case makes clear that we can obtain civil accountability for the unlawful actions of rogue federal agents":

"Pres. Donald Trump’s second term is more aggressive, more unpredictable, and more willing to accept the risk of domestic and global backlash. The drug cartels have almost vanished as a pretext for all of this, with the clear focus now on oil excavation" from #Venezuela:

Barbara Comstock: "In any functioning Congress, Kristi Noem would be already scheduled for a hearing tomorrow if she hadn’t already been fired for her absolute incompetence with her runamuck agents terrorizing our neighborhoods."

Sen. Alex Padilla: "A 37-year-old woman is dead because ICE and CBP think they can operate with no accountability and no regard for public safety.

These out-of-control operations put innocent lives at risk and tearing communities apart.
Our communities should not be terrorized by those sworn to uphold the law. The officer involved must be immediately suspended and this shooting fully investigated, and this dangerous enforcement surge must end."

Justin Amash: "Trump will keep bombing, killing, and abducting until he gets a leader of #Venezuela who works for him. He doesn’t care about freedom or democracy or even narco-terrorism; he just wants someone who will bend to his will on oil and resources."

Rex Huppke: "Pres. Donald Trump didn’t ask Congress’ permission to take military action against #Venezuela and haul away its president to stand trial in the United States. He also didn’t ask your permission. There was no effort to garner or gauge public support for this likely illegal endeavor. People are worried about food and health insurance, not Venezuela."

Ben Rhodes: The United States is "bombing Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran with no legal basis, coherent rationale or even public debate. And Trump seems to just be getting started. This is a regime change war in Latin America, based on absurd rationales about drug trafficking, no explanation of goals, and counter to everything Trump promised campaigning. And we’re not even a full year into Trump’s term."

Trump bombs Iran one day, destroys boats in the Caribbean on another day, and then bombs Nigeria. When he bombed Nigeria, he wastefully used some of our most expensive weapons and his bombs killed people in the wrong city: "Villagers say Jabo is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority":

I enjoy watching #Survivor on #television. My favorite contestant won this season's competition.

Here are tough but fair comments that Survivor's host could say to the bloodthirsty Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
#recklessness #CaribbeanSlaughter #WarCrimes

Rep. Don Beyer: "The lives of American soldiers should not be risked in an illegal war with #Venezuela for regime change, or for oil, or on any other pretext."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said about the second strike in the Caribbean: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret, full unedited video of that to the general public."

Joyce Vance wrote: "Translation: We know what we did was wrong."

More than wrong: experts said it was either a war crime or murder. If our government killed them during a war, it is a war crime. If this was not part of a war, it is murder.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "With Jesus Christ as our guide. May he grant us the wisdom to see what is right."

John Harwood: "It would be great if God would grant Pete Hegseth some wisdom, but there's no sign he ever has."

Rep. Ted Lieu: "(Secretary of Defense Pete) Hegseth lied after leaking classified information on Signal. He also lied after the second boat strike. He is unfit to serve. Hegseth must resign."

"Since Pres. Donald Trump’s administration launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year, federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons — rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades, tear gas and pepper balls. They’ve fired on American citizens and noncitizens alike in ways that some experts say might be criminal": https://www.propublica.org/article/ice-border-patrol-less-lethal-weapons?utm_campaign=propublica-sprout&utm_content=1764734410&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Ron Filipkowski: "Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder
is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth."

James Bond was said to have a license to kill, but Trump has a license to kill in real life. Checks and balances limited a president's power years ago, but Republican politicians in both houses of Congress almost always do what Trump tells them to do.

Rep. Daniel Goldman: "Nobody is suggesting that ICE agents should be arrested for properly doing their job. But when they arrest US citizens without a warrant or probable cause, they are not doing their job. And when they use excessive force while falsely arresting US citizens, that is assault."
