The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights.
I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:
1. Film ICE in public
2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.
