The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow style restrictions on voting. It will be dead on arrival in the Senate.
My statement:
ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.
This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.
Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.
More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.
Mike Johnson lies that voter ID "is an 80 or 90 percent issue on the polling nationwide"

This is the authoritarian tell:
If a judge rules against your preferred outcome, declare the judge illegitimate.
If that mindset takes hold, courts stop being guardrails and become targets.

MSNBC broadcasts body cam footage of the FBI raid at the Fulton County elections office
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained body cam footage of the FBI raid on Fulton County's elections hub.
In one video, Fulton police and the FBI spar over the search warrant to seize the 2020 ballots.
"One way or another, the records are coming with us today," an agent said.
Police body cam footage shows confusion at FBI raid of Fulton elections office
Body camera footage obtained by the AJC indicates issues with the search warrant slowed the FBI, even as agents came prepared to take 2020 ballots by force.

Make sense, doesn’t it?
Close the ICE detention centers.
Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone
WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

They are children.
This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved.
