Bone chilling.
A significant escalation of Trump’s Terrors.
Using the guise of “immigration enforcement” to make it “lawful” is par for the fascist course.
Remember, it starts with attacking “migrants” but the Terrors come for “citizens,” and not only those who don’t fit the white model

1/ The Speech or Debate Clause probably doesn't apply to the Omar search.
BUT, whenever I talk about Speech or Debate immunity and argue that it should be interpreted capaciously, the pushback I always get is that we don't want to turn members of Congress into "super-citizens".
