Fun fact: you can’t sue CBP or ICE for civil rights violations. Federal law enforcement is immune from suit. The federal law established to let people sue individual state actors for civil rights violation in a federal court doesn’t include federal actors.
42 USC §1983:
Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress…
Yeah, okay, that’s definitely bullshit. Every government official, no matter what position, is there by the will of the people, and they should never forget that. Which means there should always be a way to hold them accountable.
