I've tinkered with this question a bit too, and I think the House would be on reasonably strong grounds that both Miller and Bovino are impeachable as within the expansive scope of "all civil officers of the United States." It's not limited to principal officers or even Senate-confirmeds.
Your now weekly reminder that Stephen Miller did not go to law school and has no idea what he is talking about at all. Also of note: if this DHS is now citing Stephen Miller, well, well, well. I have been circumspect on a Miller impeachment b/c has not gone through Senate confirmation.
How is this not inciting violence?
Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity?
One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law.
Be safe Minneapolis.

This is Minneapolis elementary school pick up:
The alert also recommends: "Bring your whistle & wear your hat. If you have a respirator or goggles bring them in a small backpack. We don't want to show up looking alarming for the kids but chemical weapons are being used widely in the area."

Congressional Overspeech
Political theater. Spectacle. Circus. Reality show. We are constantly told that, whatever good congressional oversight is, it certainly isn’t those things.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.
While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."
