Dems need to introduce legislation to be sure DOJ spends at least as much of that $1.7 billion fund on ...
cases of people who were arrested without warrants, assaulted and physically abused, separated from their families, detained for days, weeks, months, denied medical treatment, wrongly deported, sent to foreign prisons, killed trying to escape, or just plain SHOT IN THE FACE or SHOT IN THE BACK by masked, armed, anonymous, and virtually untrained ICE agents ... as they do on thugs who assaulted and KILLED Capitol Police officers.
The total number of people deserving compensation should total in the many thousands -- giving them the lions' share of the fund. Trmp is sure to kill the whole idea if that occurs.
If any money is paid out, it should go to people who were beaten or killed by law enforcement "officers", not people who beat and killed law enforcement officers.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
