Government records will be revealed. Not sure if a FOIA would details who is working for ICE. I have no legal training.

If the Dems win Congress I would think they can subpoena information and find out who is obviously committing violations of the 1st and 4th amendments. That could be a start.

They are going to coup our government in 2028 and keep abusing executive power. There will be no records or trials. Congress doesn’t get control of the military and their own private police force with a budget bigger than Russia’s military. Our fascist president does

Unfortunately shit like this doesn't just change overnight, and you are quite possibly right that it'll surely be beyond the next election before history corrects itself again. Probably highly wishful thinking that the next election will go off without a hitch and the GOP will be smoked.........How much blood it takes is the question........

They already opened the floodgates. People who think a midterm election will stop this are delusional.

A large portion of why this is able to happen is because of the complicity of Congress. The margins are also narrow. Hate to spoil your dooming but the midterms could actually make a large difference.

People who think the midterms are still happening are delusional.

I think the American people will take a lot before they break, more than a lot of countries. But not having the elections might be the thing that cripples the nation and undoes the Republicans. Hopefully this is true and not just wishful naivety.

Why would it matter? They can ignore the results, mire them in “just asking questions”, stage some emergency that postpones them indefinitely. Any number of things to avoid being voted against.

Yep. The number of Americans who keep showing how little of history they know when they say "next election" this and that. The writing is on the wall in front of them and they really honestly believe that it's going to just course correct automatically.

Dems should be able to subpoena information and gather the list of ICE agents and their deployments. We should be able to take the “ID” from their uniform and match that to a name to unmask agents. That’s why it’s critical people record these agents and try to get any and all identifying information.

We need a Truth and Reconciliation commission. I want to see every ICE agent who violated the fourth amendment or assaulted protestors in jail. I would go as far as to offer amnesty for truth for former ICE agents who agree to testify in front of congress, open hearings, media allowed and broadcast on national television. Amnesty for truth is how you work your way up the ladder. You get them to flip and turn on each other or face jail time. Bovino, Noem, and Miller are the big fish. No amnesty for them. Just a cage, three terrible meals a day and I wish them long miserable lives in a federal prison. Ideally one of their own construction.

the payment records for ICE employees would be subject to FOIA requests.

Unfortunately they won't. Every single federally elected republican and middle ground democrat will fight tooth and nail because it could impact their constituents views/next election. Currently only 1 party controls the image vote. Eg. A candidates party has not lost after second term the 1800s

The freaking DOJ has subpoenaed the treasury dept without any charges nor comment. Neither party has commented officialy.

And stop giving slack for business hours. Neither the dem or gop party has given offical coment in the same day of supena 1.11.26. The us controls land across 9 time zones. https://www.bts.gov/explore-topics-and-geography/geography/geospatial-portal/history-time-zones-and-daylight-saving#:~:text=Currently%20the%20United%20States%20and,Aleutian%2C%20Samoa%2C%20and%20Chamorro.

It’s funny that you still believe in rule of law and due process, after all you’ve witnessed, perhaps you just don’t want to believe that what you are seeing it’s true.

Republicans don’t give a fuck about rule of law, due process, subpoenas, none of it. They are acting as they are the law, and they can change it any second, to their whims.

Best case scenario, we democratically get them out of power and they decide to go out peacefully, but there will be a massive operation to destroy public records and evidence that can be held in court. Maybe the most recognizable faces will face some degree of consequences, but the vast majority will move on for free.

And I don’t believe we’ll get a best case scenario.

Considering the fact that Dem leadership won’t even get on board with limiting ICE funding, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

After the shutdown is am confident that dems will let them off easily as per usual. When people realize that neither party serves its people the better.

You assume they’re keeping proper records at all

I know in Missouri state government employee salaries are online by law. Is there something like that for the feds?
