I propose the following:
various stakeholders create a think tank to propose the best way to criminally hold accountable these ICE agents once those in power become more decent
it is important to realize that younger people are more liberal and will eventually vote, making the planet better and less annoying, and also allowing for better politicians to be in office
once those who recognize the corruption of ICE are in power, laws must be changed so that appropriate trials and punishments can be handed out to these ice agents that committed evil acts during this period
constitutional amendments may be need to be ratified to allow a rare exception to ex-post-facto laws in instance of blatant government corruption and immoral conduct
once a legal system is put into place such that trials can occur, appropriate lawful responses should occur, with punishments that could include prison or or something more serious for ICE agents that engaged in extrajudicial killing and torture, should that be agreed to by law makers
sending anyone to CECOT should be deemed torture, and anyone involved directly or indirectly in sending anyone there should be lawfully tried.
we need to make clear that immigration policy and enforcement do not exculpate acts of evil, and that accepting the need for borders and immigration rules and enforcement and enforcement agents does not mean that an "anything goes" mentality won't be later met with brutal consequences for those involved in evil.
These old racist ultra-right Republican types won't be around forever, and younger people are more and more liberal and disgusted by ultra right wing Republican behavior. We need to start having a real conversation about what we will do in 10-20 years when decent people have consolidated power to make sure there is a lawful process to brutally respond to this outrageous corruption, even if time has elapsed.
It is important to find lawful ways such that if 10 years or even 20 years elapses, there will be accountability once decent people have consolidated power.
This must be done in a lawful way, respectful of the constitution, and done by voting and legislation, not by illegal means. We should start having these conversations now, openly, fully advocating for lawful means of coming into power, including waiting for younger people to be of voting age, and a method for accountability.
Ultimately, laws come from the people, and historical things preventing ex-post-facto regulation can always be changed.
We need to remember Renee Good and have a National Day of Mourning every year to remember this horrible brutality and the evil that ICE has brought upon our country.
I do not consider myself a liberal and this problem should not be put into liberal or conservative terms. We need a coalition of people who recognize the evil of what is happening and want to find a lawful organized way of responding that involves voting for change, emphasizing above all else democratic voting, following the law, and accountability.
