TWEETS OF NOTE

• (@ICEgov) ICE officers and agents enforce the laws written by Congress. It’s been the same mission for decades. What has changed is that elected officials are telling people to disregard federal law and resist our officers and agents. Their rhetoric is dangerous and incites violence. Tweet.
• (@nedryun) We didn’t make these rules. Also, just so we’re clear: when we discuss rule of law, it’s the idea that all stand equal before the law and there’s equal application of it. When the Left speaks of rule of law it’s a veneer for creative and novel legal theories that in reality is lawfare and a political weapon against political opponents over policy differences. Tweet.
