You may say “but how can Dems stop this, they don’t have the votes?”
People said the same thing before the Epstein files vote. Dems are only 3 seats behind Reps in the House. File a bill to end the attacks on immigrants. Start a discharge petition. Rally the public around it. It’s worth the try.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.
