jesus christ man, we can’t ever get used to this and normalize it.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷♀️

Why? Because "we're all in it together" -- or more precisely, "we all must join in and sacrifice some of our immediate individual interests in the name of long-term collective welfare" -- is diametrically opposed to hierarchy & domination, which are the fundamentals of authoritarian psychology.

![Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 457 (1991). It is indisputable that the drafters of the U.S. Constitution made
"the decision to withhold from Congress the power to issue orders directly to the States." Murphy v.
National Collegiate Athletic Association, 584 U.S. 453, 470 (2018). '"[T]he Federal Government may not compel the States to enact or administer a federal regulatory program'' nor "conscript state or local officers directly" nor "coerce States to action through improper influence." Illinois, No. 25-cv-1285, slip op. at 19 (citing New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144, 188 (1992); Printz v. United States, 521 U.S. 898, 935 (1997); Nat'l Fed'n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519, 578 (2012)).
As the federal court in Illinois wrote just weeks ago: "[A]nticommandeering is a bulwark against abuse of [federal] government power." Id.
Additionally, in Massachusetts, state law places clear limits on participation in federal immigration enforcement. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, in Lunn v. Commonwealth, held that state and local law enforcement agencies may not arrest individuals solely based on immigration detainer requests from the federal government, absent a criminal warrant. 477 Mass. 517 (2017). The Boston Trust Act and its amendments codify the Lunn decision.
Our City's longstanding and productive partnership with state and federal law enforcement to protect the people of Boston far predates your tenure. The Boston Police Department, the first municipal police department in the United States, works closely with state and federal agencies to address counterterrorism threats, protect our airport and our harbor, combat drug and human trafficking, and hold perpetrators accountable for crimes. Just last week, Boston Police arrested thirteen people as the result of a joint human trafficking investigation with the FBI and Massachusetts State Police. The week before, Boston Police worked alongside the FBI in an investigation that led to an arrest and the reco…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiaz5usnu74kjw6vrdlx3bve5uevxehfd56uowqqyn76g5i4kp5pta@jpeg)

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill
