Episode notes
Broad Backlash Against DHS Operations
- The killing of Alex Preddy has united unusually broad media and public criticism of DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol.
- That consensus is pressuring Senate Democrats to consider risking a funding bill to force policy changes.
Democrats Consider Shutdown Leverage
- Senate Democrats are weighing removing DHS funding from an omnibus to extract reforms, even if that risks a partial government shutdown.
- Congressman Jamie Raskin says popular organizing and political pressure are essential to constrain ICE actions.
ICE Acting Like Judge And Executioner
- Raskin frames ICE agents' actions as usurping multiple criminal-justice roles and executing people without due process.
- He links these operations to constitutional violations across amendments including the Fifth and Second.
