#OR Senator Jeff Merkley and #OR6 Congresswoman Andrea Salinas have introduced legislation in the #USSenate and #USHouse to give legal tools to victims to sue #ICE and #CBP when their agents violate people’s civil and Constitutional rights.

This is needed but we shouldn’t leave loopholes to be exploited. There should be an easy-to-access remedy for individuals to sue ANY federal law enforcement agency that violates their rights.

Senator Mark Kelly of AZ just asked him to yield for a question. He’s bringing to light the illegal use of military against US citizens. Fuck yeah!

Senators doing their jobs. Democrats need to take notes. No compliance. No subservience. No boot licking.

Instead, hold the floor. Ask the right questions. Make this regime feel uncomfortable at every step.

Y’all. For those who aren’t aware. Jeff Merkley, my Oregon senator, has been holding the Senate floor for 18 hours to protest the dictator (like Booker did).

Dude is 69 years old. He looks super tired, but he’s still going.

I never share YouTube links. I’m sorry for that. But in this case, it’s worth a click (in a private browser).

This is historical. Go, Jeff! ✊🏻
