Imagine if ICE ordered your plane to land and they arrest all the passengers and flight attendants to bring into their torture facilities.

    Because laws governing the United States actions within the States are very different than international law.

    There are actually mechanisms, enforcement, oversight and so on. ICE taking control of the FAA would at least be a lengthy court battle first. It’s why Trump hasn’t been able to fire Lisa Cook, why Kilmar was brought back etc.

    There is no similar restraint on American military actions outside of America.

        No, just a reasonable assumption of risk and reality.

        If we’re going by nonsense at the outer bounds, trump could just nuke whateber country tomorrow. Oh, you’re still going about your life? Guess you have faith in nazis.
