It looks like the beneficiary was setup to the correct name. Not sure how accurate that is. Might need to find a news source confirming he is the beneficiary.

I saw a reel today from what i consider a credible enough source, (still plan to look this up but i feel it’s credible enough to base this comment on).

There’s a major problem that needs to be dealt with when talking about any kind of enforcement.

Firstly, US citizens DO NOT require to have any form of ID or papers on them, at all, for any reason. Yet visa holders, immigrants, vacationers, etc, have to carry their papers AT ALL TIME or that’s a federal violation.

Secondly, ICE has no jurisdiction over US citizens. If they ask me anything, i don’t have to comply. As long at I’m not interfering with their job, as to be arrested for obstruction of justice. Their job is solely to enforce immigration laws.

So the problem this creates is that they can just claim I’m not a citizen and arrest me for not having proper documentation. Best case scenario, they look me up in the system, see I’m a citizen, and let me go. Worst case? Well, yeah, we are seeing that unfold every day in the news.

Boot lickers will say, well just carry your ID, and comply! And miss the entire point. There’s due process violations happening all across the country, people being arrested just because, to intimidate us into cowering in a corner while they kidnap and torture folks. So either we cave and start to carry our IDs, which won’t help when they claim it’s a fake ID, and allow them to ratchet up again to only allowing certain people to have IDs, or whatever fascist BS they have planned next for their white, christian ethnostate.

Or no one needs to carry around an ID and just abolish ICE all together because we don’t need to enforce immigration laws, just make it easier. Think of the extra tax dollars that could be had if non citizens could spend their money without worrying about being deported! Plus the extra money for not paying another useless enforcement agency. For those one off cases, i would rather a percentage go to the FBI for a division that investigates non citizen crime, and let the courts handle deportations.

A lot of people are forgetting how a minority whip works in Congress. The term “whip” comes from a fox-hunting expression—“whipper-in”—referring to the member of the hunting team responsible for keeping the dogs from straying from the team during a chase.

That vote went down in one of two ways, either of which is the leader and the whip’s direct responsibility.

1: those Democrats voted on their own, in the exact number needed to pass. In which the whip is responsible for whipping up their votes to No and failed here, and Democrats need to promote a new person and primary the congressperson responsible, along with the ones who voted in favor.

2: that Whip caved under pressure and grabbed the exact number of votes needed to pass, from Congresspersons in “safe” districts or who were already planning on retiring. In which case, Democrats need to promote a new person and primary the congressperson responsible as well as primary the ones who voted in favor.

The Senate Democratic leader is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) The Senate Democratic Whip is Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL)

The Eight Senate Democrats/Independents who voted in favor were: Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) Sen. Angus King (I-ME) Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)

The House did not have enough votes to defeat it, and all voted against but here are those leaders too. The House Democratic leader is Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) The House Democratic Minority Whip is Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA)
