So this actually isn't election related, but it is super, super important.

It is moving in a number of states.

And let me tell you about what it does.

So in a lot of states where, say, you know, an ICE agent murders your spouse.

You don't have the ability to sue a federal officer like you would someone from the state or local police.

There's reasons for that.

It has to do with something that's called a cause of action that was winnowed by the Supreme Court.

But what states can do and should do now is address that accountability gap with some legislation that provides residents that cause of action.

And so we call it the broad kind of reform bill is the universal constitutional remedies act in the States.

Many times they have different names.

I think the acronym for the one in New Jersey is F U C K ice, um, which is very, uh,

Innovative on their part, but we're moving in, I think, 15 states, California, Massachusetts.

I can put a link in my social media for people that want to learn more.

But this is something that can be done now.

It is being considered.

There's strong legislation.

A lot of times it's committee, but people who want to do something, you should push your state and local legislatures to be active on this kind of bill because it's

Stuff is going down now and it's going to continue to go down.

And these federal officers need to know that they are not immune from accountability because right now they think they are.

Right now they think, you know, these ICE officers that are doing terrible things are still on the job.
