We’ve already been forced to witness a crowd surrounding an ICE vehicle outside their building in Portland creating a standoff. Enough is enough. POTUS should just lock up Congress. They are clearly anti-American.
The proper response would have been to escalate to the point where ICE could do its job under the law. If that meant having helicopter gunships firing machine guns into the crowd, that would have been a perfectly legal response to the situation. Granted, that would have created bad optics and a firestorm of protest, but the law is the law.
Likewise, when Rep. Ruben Gallegos (D-AZ) threatened vigilante action against the homes and families of ICE agents, he should have been indicate and arrested.
POTUS should just lock up Congress.
Under Article I of the Constitution, Congress is the first branch of government. Twice, Congress has impeached presidents. Congress has the power to remove presidents. There is nothing in Article II that permits the president to lock Congress up. The day that happens marks the day that America moves from a republic to a dictatorship.
At this point, I counsel patience.
I posted part of an article I think yesterday (boy time flies) about a couple of cops in Chicago who arrested a guy with drugs, and a angry and aggressive crowd forced the two cops to let the criminal go, while the crowd got into the patrol car, got the drugs back, and the cops escaped.
So the criminal crowd have to be agents of a foreign country to count?
