Congress is complicit in DHS and ICE violations of constitutional rights by funding, authorizing, and tolerating unlawful policies. Directives that treat lawful firearm possession as suspicion or justification for detention violate the Second Amendment by design. These policies persist because officers face no real consequences. That must end. Congress must mandate FBI civil rights investigations, remove qualified immunity protections for federal officers who violate constitutional rights, and pursue criminal charges, termination, and decertification when DHS or ICE officers infringe on the right to bear arms. Policy reform without officer accountability is meaningless. Federal authority does not include immunity from the Constitution.
