"This is not complicated, Kennedy said. Illegal immigration is illegal. If no one is above the law, then how come people in our country illegally are. They're not. I support enforcing our immigration laws, I think most Americans do. Kennedy argued that it matters the way those laws are enforced. They have to be enforced in accordance with equal protection, due process and reasonable suspicion standard set forth in Terry v. Ohio, a Supreme Court case."
"Now, you have the right to protest. I've seen some of the protesters. Some of them are deeply weird. Some of them give off this, I don't know, I've got a freezer full of body parts in my basement vibe,' but that is not against the law, said Kennedy. Ooh, Faulkner remarked. You can be deeply weird in America. You can protest. What you can't do is protest violently. That, too, is against the law. And, if you protest violently and act like a butthead and try to interfere with a cop, it's not gonna end well. Even your cocker spaniel knows that, Kennedy said. Here's a tip: Most cops, including ICE officers, will leave you alone unless you do illegal stuff, and that's what this is all about."
Pam Bondi denounced elected officials who declared they were at war with the federal government over anti-ICE rhetoric. The Bondi hearing before the House Judiciary Committee was likened to a game room in a mental hospital. Illegal immigration was stated to be illegal and no one should be above the law. Enforcement of immigration laws should adhere to equal protection, due process, and the reasonable suspicion standard from Terry v. Ohio. Protesting is protected, but some protesters were described as 'deeply weird' and giving off a 'freezer full of body parts' vibe, which is not illegal. Violent protest and interfering with officers is illegal and can lead to serious consequences. Questions remained about whether Renee Good or Alex Pretti acted illegally when shot by federal officers, and Rand Paul pressed officials for clearer video evidence in the Pretti shooting.
