1. Start filing court challenges for violating the various

constitutional rights of citizens? What have they violated so far--1st amendment, 4th, others? And if dem leaders won't, then citizens must.
And I don't mean one or two here and there, file a blizzard of lawsuits.

2. IMO because ICE are not police any protections afforded police under the law should not shield them. nt
