16 July 2026 - ICE defamation

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

So far, 100% of the times that ICE has shot somebody dead, they've told outrageous lies about it. And since it's a big event, their lies are caught 100% of the time. They feel truth impunity--taking a page from Trump himself, they can announce any lie, and they believe it won't hurt them. Clearly, the victims need legal protection. There is already a social norm against speaking ill of the dead. We need a formal defamation law.
