Unlawful used to mean against the law.
Against the law used to mean criminal.
Criminal used to mean subject to arrest.
Arrested used to mean in jail or out on bail.

How many "unlawful” Republican Trump administration incidents were in the news just this past week, a dozen, excluding the free ICE murder of Alex Pretti? And no arrests? Why not?

"What is motivating all of the reporting on Trump’s 'pivot?' Trump softened his rhetoric, calling Pretti’s death 'very unfortunate' and 'very sad.' He also replaced Greg Bovino, a Border Patrol commander overseeing the Minneapolis operation, with Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar."

"In my circles and group chats, the conversation immediately turned to Democrats. What can they do to stop Trump and protect the people of Minnesota, Maine, and whatever community Stephen Miller decides to terrorize next? Which Democrat will grab the nation’s attention and give voice to the anger and fear pulsing through the country?"

Stop Letting Republicans Off the Hook for the ICE Killings

The GOP has a choice: use their power to force change or own the chaos and the killings.

"The theme of the day was Trump trying to do damage control after federal agents murdered VA nurse Alex Pretti while Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino and others continued to make it worse for him politically by making false claims about the victim and lying about what was clearly depicted on the videos."

"Fox’s Bill Melugin, one of the administration’s favorite reporters, wrote, 'I’m told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a "massacre" of federal agents or wanted to carry out "maximum damage," even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate.'”

"Calls for an investigation have come from across the political spectrum after video analysis showed officers had removed a handgun from Pretti that he was reportedly permitted to carry – and which he was not handling – before fatally shooting him on Saturday. Trump officials, meanwhile, are continuing to lie about what happened."
