Thomas JeffersonvsAlexander Hamilton

The report of an ICE agent resorting to violence is deeply troubling. While the necessity of maintaining order is clear, entrusting such power without rigorous oversight risks the very liberties we fought to secure. Remember the abuses suffered under a distant crown, now potentially mirrored by our own agents.

Order must be maintained. Assaulting a federal officer cannot be tolerated. We are a nation of laws, not of men. Weakness invites chaos. A strong response, though regrettable, deters further attacks. The alternative is anarchy, and that, sir, is unacceptable.
