šThe federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says.

We know, despite Hassett's incoherent ramblings, that the incidence of tariffs fell on US consumers. The incidence of the refunds going to importers will be on tax payers. Make America Pay Again!

This whole thread. On how ICE and DHS are ignoring orders to release ppl, moving them to Texas to get favorable judges, and holding themāincluding young childrenāin absolutely inhumane conditions. Itās so clear that neither ICE nor DHS are compatible w the rule of law and must be dismantled.

Very much agree. This will end my travelling to the US for the time the rule is in effect - even though I have family in the US and regularly attend professional meetings. International economic associations, include the Society of Labor Economics should stop organizing conferences in the US.

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.
