INSKEEP: OK, so Congress is close to asserting itself when it comes to the Department of Homeland Security. We just heard from Ximena a few possible provisions that might be inserted into the law. What do you want when it comes to DHS?

ROSA DELAURO: Well, as it's been outlined, we outlined this when we did our appropriations bills several weeks ago in the House, and we gave a bill of particulars - list of particulars to the Republicans. For instance, let's not deport or detain U.S. citizens, requiring the body-worn cameras that Ximena talked about this morning, requiring reporting on the use of force, allowing the access, which has been required by law, for members of Congress to access facilities, training standards. The training has been cut back to, you know, less than a little bit over a month, where there used to be, you know, several months, so - and requiring, yes, judicial warrants. So we have outlined some issues already. And the issue is, it's an enforceable code of conduct, real accountability when agents break the law, prohibitions on detention of department of U.S. citizens, judicial warrants, masks off, badges on, necessary measures to keep communities safe...

Hold it, Kowalski, enhance!

Enhance further!

So, you understand that there is a law that is already not being followed, and your solution is to propose another law requiring them to follow that law? Swear to god this country is beyond parody

Not only that but:

let's not deport or detain U.S. citizens, requiring the body-worn cameras, requiring reporting on the use of force

All honor-system based requirements. There's literally nothing stopping them from turning off their body cameras, detaining a US citizen, and beating the shit out of them. Does she really think they're going to record themselves committing crimes and then report it to congressional Democrats?

And the issue is, it's an enforceable code of conduct, real accountability when agents break the law

Really? What mechanism for accountability is being proposed here? They didn't hold these goons accountable even in more sane times, which is why they're so emboldened now. These agents get qualified immunity and the government has sovereign immunity so not only will they not get prosecuted criminally but you can't even sue them unless they first gives you permission to do so.

Democrats will absolutely approve this ICE funding bill and they'll later parade all over TV talking about how they've "reined in ICE" with the above mentioned facetious "restrictions" and nothing will change.
