Republicans should counter with a bill that would allow citizens to sue Democrats individually for wasting taxpayer money
Democrat’s bill would let people sue ICE over misconduct
Oregon Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley wants to allow people to sue over immigration enforcement officers’ infringement of their constitutional rights, according to a copy of his new bill shared with Semafor.
The bill would allow people who are deprived of “rights, privileges, or immunities” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection to sue the federal government, with the funds paid out of last year’s tax cuts law, which included billions for immigration enforcement.
It’ll be a nonstarter for the Republicans, but will demonstrates the scale of change Democrats now believe is needed.
“ICE and CBP must face consequences if their agents wrongfully violate citizens’ rights to protest and free speech, search people’s homes without a warrant, or deny due process,” Merkley said.
If you click that Semafor link you’ll see that this is meant to bestow US Rights on people who are illegally present in the US, and would end up giving them a legal status. Those suits could take years, meaning that illegals couldn’t be deported during that time period. And if a huge chunk of them are doing this, how many millions would be considered non-deportable? 5? 10? Just like claiming asylum, which are mostly false, but, cannot deport till have their day in court.
It would also allow the unhinged liberal base to sue after their mostly peaceful protests, after interfering with federal immigration authorities.
Of course, there is zero chance this passes. But, what if Dems win the House and Senate in the Fall? Might they nuke the filibuster to pass it?
Something to ponder…
Kinda makes you wonder don’t it?
LOL Shirley the You Tuber. You go, girl.
LOL. Mr Teach wants to sue Democrats for wasting tax money!!! LOL.
Maybe trot out a bill to allow citizens to sue individual legislators who trot out bills like this.
Beginning to notice the pattern here?
So obvious even a Rimjob could explain.
Illegal immigrants deserve just as much due process as they used coming in to the country. None. Kick them all out. And end birthright citizenship.
Lol
And end birthright citizenship ? Take away Baron’scitizenship ???
The thing that happens when libturds lose.
Always.
Guess we’ll see who’s for free and fair elections.

It would require a Constitutional Amendment to put the Federales in charge of our elections.
But with Mad King Donald at the helm anything is possible!!
It’s a cult.
