One of the key virtues of Brazilian democracy that I witnessed: its multiparty system. The separation of interests between the president and Congressional majority led to a kind of legislative anti-authoritarian pushback from a center-right Congress Americans can only dream about.

I wrote about this a while ago. Not only are ICE and CBP growing, they are sucking up other federal law enforcement. And employees of those agencies, in turn, will adopt the norms and practices of immigration enforcement, such as wearing masks.

A series of recent polls hammer home just how unpopular ICE has become: Almost half of voters say they’d like to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and six in 10 say the agency has gone too far. This week, Senate Democrats are attempting to leverage that disapproval into reform:

They’re focused on three areas: ending warrantless patrols, curtailing aggressive tactics, and increasing accountability.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired.
