It is time we stop pretending the Constitution is the only shield against federal overreach, especially regarding the unchecked power of ICE agents operating in our communities. While we focus on high-level legal theories, we are overlooking a massive 'other' Bill of Rights found in administrative law and procedural mandates designed to keep executive agencies in check. When rogue agents ignore internal protocols or bypass the rules governing their specific authority, they are not just breaking the law; they are eroding the foundation of government accountability. We must look beyond basic amendments and start enforcing strict regulatory frameworks built to prevent this exact power creep. Without serious reform that holds individual officers accountable for every procedural violation, the system remains fundamentally broken. Protecting civil rights requires more than just high-minded ideals. #law #politics #accountability
