Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

The conflict here is that the justices aren’t using the emergency docket as a temporary tool, they’re making “precedent” and expecting lower court judges to apply it without explanation. This is why we’re seeing so much frustration from lower court judges.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
