I think most people know how monstrous and horrible Trump's deportation policies are. For MAGA folks, the cruelty and overreach is a feature, not a bug.
"When I said in February that they were going to cast a wide net for deportations, I had no idea how bad it would be. This is not just a matter of aggressive deportation. The things that are being done by our government to our fellow human beings are monstrous."

This op-ed ends by saying we're still in the first quarter here, and there's plenty of time for #SCOTUS to limit #Trump's egregious abuses of power. I think we're further gone than that. And why? Is it the conservatives Justices' support for unitary executive theory or just pure, naked partisanship?
“Given the largely supine nature of Congress under Republican control, the stability of American democracy depends more than it should on the Supreme Court,” the editorial board writes. “So far, it is failing to live up to its constitutional role.”

"In the days following the event, the woman says she hasn’t been able to sleep, is in physical pain from the way she was handled by the agents, and keeps reliving what happened. “The way I was treated left me feeling traumatized, humiliated, degraded, and unheard.”"
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.
