No warrant. No consent. No entry.

That’s the Constitution.
Ignoring it isn’t enforcement it’s a rights violation.

A badge doesn’t override the Fourth Amendment.
Entering homes without a warrant or consent is illegal.
Rights don’t disappear at the sound of a knock.

Bondi has spent this entire hearing crashing out, talking about the stock market, and trying to do anything but talk about Epstein.

The American people see through this bullshit.

Innocent people don’t act this way.

True
ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

WHY? Why is Raskin asking Pam Bondi to "please do your job." We ALL know she is not here for the American people. She is as corrupt as they come and that's never going to change. Every word out of Pam Bondi is absolute lies and bullshit.

This administration is a criminal administration.
Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?"

ICE Director Lyons: "Yes."

Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."

Pop quiz: if a politician says that they don’t support what ICE is doing, but they constantly vote to give the agency more money and resist calls to abolish it, whose side are they on?

What matters more? Rhetoric, or actions? Lip service, or policy?
