Is it just me or does it feel like the 'ushers' are on a hair trigger of late, lunging in front of the cameras to rescue Trump whenever he starts doing a dementia.
Trump can be heard still complaining about Kaitlan Collins not smiling as reporters are ushers out of the Oval Office

This is what a child sex predator looks like: The NYT identified more than 5,300 files with over 38,000 references to Trump, Melania and Mar-a-Lago. For the benefit of the pedophile president, the DOJ's protecting some of the most sinister, evil and wealthy pedophiles in history.

The president, when asked about the survivors of the sex trafficking ring run by his best friend the pedophile, ignores the question and instead lashes out at the "young woman" who asked it, saying she never smiles and is someone to be ashamed of.

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

A non-lawyer might miss that Johnson carefully dodged the question.
The question was about HOMES. He just spoke about ARRESTS.
Those are two VERY different things for warrants.
ICE is trying to undermine that distinction, which motivated the question, but Johnson bounced around it.

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

Not only excessive and gratuitous force, it absolutely does not work for the ostensible purpose. They love using it punitively to feel badass and because they can get away with it, but it only makes the situation worse even if you are properly trying to disperse a for-real riot.
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
