they'd better keep it laser focused on stuff like bribery that is easy to demonstrate, and not stuff like "enabled ICE by hosting apps" etc. which is much less understood by the American people and harder to nail down as a crime

I don't know the specifics (not a U.S. citizen), but surely it's fairly straightforward to bring charges of conspiracy to commit crimes? If ICE are acting illegally, then companies that are enabling that criminality should expect to be held partially responsible.

I agree with you in principle but not sure how it will fall legally, and what the Dems can't afford is to get bogged down in some pursuit that accomplishes nothing and in the meantime leave the matters that people really care about -- affordability, corruption -- unresolved.
