Make no mistake, the immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota are only a training ground for how to undermine civil rights for us all. Everyone is ok targeting te immigrant populations because they are "illegal" or live in a gray area of legality. But eventually these same tools will be used against us.

Then argue for democratically changing the law to make them unambiguously legal.

Selectively enforcing only the laws you want to is the key enabler of corruption.

The problem is that without an independent congress the US system is able to descend into authoritarianism. The court has (reasonably) decided that on many broad issues regarding presidential actions and abuse of authority only congress (via impeachment and removal) is able to constrain the president.

The current congressional majority has, for now, decided to allow the president to do almost anything he wants, regardless of the law and constitution.
