Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE canāt find many violent criminals.
Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

I'm curious to see the map they'll come up with. Unfortunately, unlike Missouri and Kansas, there are no referendums or gubernatorial vetoes to get around. They can do this with a simple majority, and Stein isn't empowered to veto it, so swing district Republicans in the General Assembly can sit 1/

While I think ICE agents should face criminal charges for their kidnapping of immigrants, they should face long, and perhaps lifetime, prison sentences for anything like this involving kids. An ICE agent willing to do this is not someone who should be out among society even after Dems retake power.

Idiotic. When one party is attempting to radically overturn precedent and the lower courts affirm that precedent maybe just maintain the status quo and hold off overturning the lower courts until you've heard the arguments? Trump isn't "irreparably harmed" by delaying his radicalism by a few months.
