There is one major problem with Rep. Jeffries’ suggestion that we simply criminally investigate and prosecute every ICE agent who breaks the law… All new hires were taught to violate the constitution. A whistleblower testified under oath before Congress, months ago, that ICE recruits were being trained in ways...

BREAKING: ICE Whistleblower Ryan Schwank just blew the whistle on Donald Trump’s ICE and their illegal actions. “I watched ICE dismantle the training program… classes that teach the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers authority. ICE is teaching cadets to violate the Constitution and they were attempting to cloak it in secrecy by demanding that I lie about it.”

Former DHS Chief of Staff: This administration continues to say they have seen no instances of ICE agents operating against DHS policy. They are lying through their teeth. We have daily documentation of ICE officers not just violating DHS policy, but violating the law and the Constitution. This is not a series of one-offs. This has become systemic, and it is being driven by the top.

I note Prime Minister Andrew Holness’s remarks in a TV interview this morning. Neither he nor his Party has made those proposals as part of the process of constitutional reform. His proposals are therefore not in the report of the Constitutional Reform Committee, and will not be in the new Constitution coming out of that process. Furthermore, Mr. Holness’s proposals are not in the existing Constitution, and would violate the existing Constitution. This is in keeping with his and his Government’s unfortunate history of past violations of the Constitution of Jamaica. It seems that the Prime Minister wants to make up a rule which is not part of the Constitution or laws of Jamaica, to suit his Party’s political fortune at a time when it is waning. He has no power and no authority to do that. He needs to tell the country why his statutory declarations to the Integrity Commission cannot be certified. I am compliant with the Constitution and laws of Jamaica, and I undertake to the People of Jamaica that I will continue to be so.

🚨BREAKING: Former ICE attorney and academy instructor, Ryan Schwank, just resigned and went before Congress with testimony that should have every American paying attention. He says ICE’s training program is now “deficient, defective, and broken.” He says constitutional instruction was cut. He says recruits are being rushed through during the largest hiring surge in agency history. He says he was given secretive orders and told not to document certain things. This is not some anti-border activist. This is a man who trained the agents. As conservatives, we believe in strong borders and law and order, and the constitution. If constitutional training is being sidelined while standards are quietly lowered, that’s not protecting the country. That’s undermining it, and it’s reckless as hell! You don’t fix institutions by hiding problems. You fix them with transparency and accountability. If this testimony is accurate, it demands serious oversight, not silence.

#BREAKING: Talarico: “The fact that we have masked federal agents who are killing Americans and Texans on our streets with impunity, it’s unacceptable in a free nation. And so I think we need to overhaul this broken immigration system. We’ve got to hold ICE accountable. We’ve got to get back to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This is not that. This is the opposite of ensuring that we have a just and fair immigration system. And so yes, I will absolutely use the power that I have to hold ICE accountable and to protect all of our neighbors here in Texas.”

🚨ICE and Border Patrol agents are once again threatening U.S. citizens for exercising their constitutional rights… this time in Richfield, Minnesota. In the video, agents swarm a car belonging to a U.S. citizen who is doing nothing more than observing them… which is a protected First Amendment right. Instead of respecting the Constitution, they start barking threats: “This is your one and only warning to quit obstructing us.” The driver calmly responds, “I’m not obstructing you.” Then one agent delivers the line that sums up the whole problem: “This is your one warning, you will be arrested for impeding.” They’re not being impeded. They’re being watched…. and they don’t like that the public is finally paying attention. This is what happens when agencies with a long record of abuse realize people know their rights: they lash out, they threaten, and they try to intimidate citizens into silence. But, observing law enforcement is not a crime. Threatening Americans for doing it absolutely is.

🚨“The longer you make this last, the worse it is…” Is what an ICE agent said to U.S. citizens during an unlawful stop in Tennessee. In the video, ICE agents and police illegally boxed in a vehicle, trapped the car from leaving, shoved a phone through the passenger window… to scan the passenger’s face… and then threatened the driver for stating his constitutional rights. The driver repeatedly asked the most basic constitutional question: “Am I being detained or am I free to go?” And notice how they never gave a clear lawful reason for the stop, or any questions… The driver told them to get their hands out of his car. He told them they needed to move their vehicle because they were blocking him in. He repeatedly asked what crime had been committed… And the agent’s response? “The longer you make this last, the worse it is.” That is not how constitutional policing works in America. You do not lose your Fourth Amendment rights because an ICE agent gets irritated that you won’t instantly comply with unlawful demands. You do not have to surrender your rights to avoid retaliation. And after they were done violating these two U.S. citizens rights, you can hear an officer say, “be more cooperative next time…” That is an especially disturbing thing to say after illegally detaining people who kept asking… “What did we even do?” Nothing in this video suggests reasonable suspicion of a crime, before they illegally boxed the vehicle in, and started demanding compliance. That is exactly why constitutional protections exist in the first place… and why every American is losing their constitutional rights the longer this happens without accountability.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent was caught on video telling a U.S. citizen that they are a “dead man”… wile they were protesting, on PUBLIC PROPERTY, outside the Delaney facility, in New Jersey. ICE agents are now openly giving out death threats to civilians for exercising their constitutional rights. And this is after we have seen countless videos of ICE agents shoving protesters, assaulting them, and even pushing demonstrators toward MOVING VEHICLES. This is what happens when an agency operates like it’s above the Constitution.

BOMBSHELL: Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons appears to have lied under oath. ICE Whistleblower Ryan Schwank just came forward, saying that the infamous ICE memo that another whistleblower leaked, and that directed ICE agents to unlawfully enter people’s homes, was never officially disseminated to agents. Instead it was kept hidden an only shown to agents to get them to perform illegal actions and to convince them that their illegal actions were OK. “The memo was shown to me by my supervisor. It was given to me in person with instructions that I could read it but not take any notes on it. That I could read it in their presence and that was it. And that I was willing to teach from it but I wasn’t able to keep a copy to reference.”

🚨BREAKING: Once again, ICE agents are admitting, on camera, that Renee Good was not shot in self-defense. In the video, a U.S. citizen is driving when he sees ICE agents. He stops his car, exits, and begins blowing a whistle… a lawful act protected by the First Amendment. An agent approaches him. The man backs away, does not interfere, does not block agents, and does not make physical contact. Despite this, the agent says: “Do you think this is a big game? Is this a game to you guys? That’s why that lady got hurt the other day.” That statement matters. The agent is threatening a U.S. citizen with lethal force for protected speech. That is illegal. Law enforcement cannot threaten, intimidate, or retaliate against civilians for exercising First Amendment rights. He said this to a man who was unarmed, on foot, and not posing any immediate threat. By the agent’s own words, Renee Good was not shot because of self-defense, but because she was drawing attention to ICE’s presence. That is not a lawful justification for using deadly force. This video shows constitutional violations in real time: • First Amendment retaliation • Threats of violence without legal cause • Abuse of authority under color of law I don’t know how many more videos need to come out before accountability happens. When federal agents threaten to kill Americans for making noise, the law has already been broken… and the Constitution is being treated as optional.

🚨BREAKING: A manager at a local diner asked ICE agents for a warrant before they searched a private areas of the business… and their response… slamming him to the ground, and putting a knee in his back, leaving him injured. Because apparently exercising your constitutional rights is now being treated like obstruction. According to witnesses, ICE agents were chasing someone who ran into the restaurant after a traffic stop. The manager reportedly told them they could not just storm through the kitchen without judicial authorization. Because the Fourth Amendment is still a thing… even though ICE agents keep pretending it isn’t. Law enforcement cannot just search private areas of a business because they feel like it. A kitchen, in a restaurant, is not a public space. When agents do not have consent, exigent circumstances, or a valid warrant signed by a judge… then managers have every right to question that search. That is literally how constitutional protections work. And the fact that the manager was injured, after asserting those rights, should outrage everyone. Rights either apply to everyone… or they are not rights at all.

I have listened to the debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 between legal scholar Dr Justice Mavedzenge and political scientist Prof Jonathan Moyo today on Twitter. Without any doubt, Dr Justice Mavedzenge explained, clarified, and made ordinary people understand the issues, and more importantly, in my humble view, he won the debate on whether there is need for Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 to be subjected to a referendum or not. Anything done for the people, as Prof Jonathan Moyo says these monumental amendments are, should be subjected to the people. The Constitution is not ambiguous on this. It is clear that term limits should be subjected to a referendum for any change to be done legally. Under Section 328 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, any amendment that seeks to extend the length of time a President may hold office, or to remove or alter term limits in a way that benefits an incumbent, cannot apply to the sitting President and must be subjected to constitutional safeguards. You cannot claim to be doing something for the people and yet deny those same people the right to have a say. Prof Jonathan Moyo has a right to his views, but those views must be subjected to the law for the amendments to be implemented legally, and based on what I have read in our Constitution, his views are not aligned with the law. And I am not making this up. It is in the Constitution. Even veteran Zimbabwean lawyer and former ZANUPF legal secretary, Patrick Chinamasa, has said so. In this video, he explains in front of President Mnangagwa that what they are attempting to do today, which Prof Jonathan Moyo argues does not require a referendum, would in fact require two referendums. One to remove or alter presidential term limits from five to seven years, and another to extend the sitting president’s tenure to 2030. This position was declared, and not contradicted, at a ZANUPF conference in Bulawayo. What the broader legal fraternity in Zimbabwe is saying, save for a few lawyers who have since revised their positions and now echo the same view, is that the Constitution is explicit on these prescripts. Anything else is political propaganda to win hearts and minds. The problem with propaganda is that it cannot be anchored in constitutional provisions. It rests on opinion. In this instance, however, we are not expressing opinions. We are stating what is contained in the Constitution and what ZANUPF itself has previously acknowledged. You can decide today that you want a 20-year presidential term. That is your right to hold that view, but you must subject that proposition to the law. If you believe in it, take it to the citizens in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. You cannot decide, through opinion or political argument, whether a referendum is required or not. That question is not settled by what anyone thinks. It is settled by what the law says. If the Constitution requires a referendum, then you must subject yourself to it. That is how constitutional democracy works. We know that the judiciary in Zimbabwe is captured. We know how they are going to rule, but the whole world knows the truth, that if they rule in favour of these amendments going ahead without a referendum, they are simply a captured judiciary without the respect that is required for anyone holding such an important office, and history will remember them as such.

🚨Another day, another video of ICE agents illegally detaining a U.S. citizen and demanding “proof of citizenship,” in Minneapolis. In the video, you can see agents stop a car and immediately demand ID, without a warrant or probable cause. That is illegal. After running the ID, the agents get back in their vehicle and leave, because they never had the right to stop the person in the first place. This is what the Trump administration is trying to normalize… Masked agents pulling people over at random, demanding papers, and kidnapping U.S. citizens who don’t have their IDs, or if the agents aren’t able to identify them in their system. That is not legal. That is a direct violation of the United States Constitution… And it should terrify anyone who still cares about freedom.

🚨Another day, another video of ICE agents illegally demanding a U.S. citizen prove their citizenship, in Brownsville, TX. In the video, ICE agents have a U.S. citizen boxed in with their vehicles. After demanding that he show his ID, the U.S. citizen asks if he is free to go, and then tells them to get the F away from his car. Instead of going back to their own cars, the agents tell him to “chill”… after they had already illegally detained him and demanded identification. The U.S. citizen then gets out of his car, to record the agents’ license plates, and one of the ICE agents has the audacity to say: “Sir, please don’t interfere with our investigations.” Interfere with what investigation? He WAS the investigation. If they’re letting him leave, then there is nothing left for him to “interfere” with. Recording government agents, in public, is protected by the First Amendment, and they don’t get to invent an “investigation” to discourage someone from filming. And this is becoming a pattern. ICE agents are stopping whoever they want… and demanding papers. But that is not how constitutional rights work. ICE didn’t have reasonable suspicion that he had committed an immigration violation… since he is a U.S. citizen. So, detaining him, and demanding that he identify himself, violates his Fourth Amendment rights. U.S. citizens are not required to prove their citizenship, to any law enforcement, simply because they were stopped and questioned. And that’s what makes these encounters so dangerous. When U.S. citizens refuse to comply with these unlawful demands, we’ve repeatedly seen ICE agents escalate the situation with physical force. Citizens have been shoved, dragged from vehicles, pinned to the ground, and pepper sprayed after refusing unlawful demands, or asserting their constitutional rights. And a right isn’t a right if exercising it means you risk being assaulted by the very government that’s supposed to protect it. This isn’t just about immigration anymore. It’s about whether every American can exercise their constitutional rights without fearing they’ll be met with intimidation, violence, or retaliation from federal agents. If federal agents can stop U.S. citizens, demand they prove who they are without lawful justification, and then escalate when people refuse… Then nobody’s constitutional rights are safe.

When U.S. citizens refuse to comply with these unlawful demands, we’ve repeatedly seen ICE agents escalate the situation with physical force. Citizens have been shoved, dragged from vehicles, pinned to the ground, and pepper sprayed after refusing unlawful demands, or asserting their constitutional rights. And a right isn’t a right if exercising it means you risk being assaulted by the very government that’s supposed to protect it. This isn’t just about immigration anymore. It’s about whether every American can exercise their constitutional rights without fearing they’ll be met with intimidation, violence, or retaliation from federal agents. If federal agents can stop U.S. citizens, demand they prove who they are without lawful justification, and then escalate when people refuse… Then nobody’s constitutional rights are safe.

Jayapal: It is an increase in ICE funding. The reason people are saying it isn’t is because the CR from last year had an anomaly—a one-time funding amount of $485 million. If you add that into the base-year funding and look at this year, there is a $115 million decrease, but that was one-time anomaly funding. The core issue here is that there really are no guardrails on ICE and CBP. I can’t vote for it. I can’t be complicit in continuing to allow them to violate the constitutional rights of people across this country.
