"Here’s what people still don’t understand: once you normalize the suspension of constitutional rights for one group, you’ve eliminated the principle that protects everyone."

"Welcome to the era of what history will remember someday as the Kavanaugh Raids. …
Chicago media this week has been ablaze with horrifying stories from Monday’s ICE raid on a South Shore apartment building; DHS has bragged that the raid ended with 37 arrests, but the on-the-scene witness reporting describes a level of scale and brutality we’ve never seen in ICE’s raids so far."

"ICE blew in doors, handcuffed American citizens, rousted people from their beds in the middle of the night, and zip-tied children as they waited to figure out who was undocumented and who was a US citizen. Some US citizens evidently were handcuffed and detained for between three and five hours."
"There are specific moments — and right now, to be honest they’re coming too frequently — where America crosses a once unthinkable bright line, moments that are worth noticing and calling out. This week’s Chicago raid was surely one of those."
