DHS: ICE officers in Minneapolis shoot Venezuelan man in the leg

Minnesota needs ICE to leave, not an escalation that brings additional federal troops beyond the 3,000 already here. My priority is keeping local law enforcement focused on public safety, not diverted by federal overreach. www.kare11.com/mobile/artic ... [image or embed]

ICE shouldn't be so eager for street justice.

Karma swings both ways.

Also, ths is a duplicate thread.

I am.

What is ICE tasked with doing?

I think it is absolutely bananas that people are protesting the US government enforcing US government policy. If you think the policy is bad, you work to change it. You don't just pretend it doesn't exist.

ICE is snatching people with no criminal records from their cars.

You wouldn't like it if the Stasi did this to you for a trivial offense like a previous conviction for driving without a license.

ICE is also snatching citizens from their cars.

Calling this "enforcing US government policy" is you, deliberately missing the actual thing that's being protested, which is the deliberate cruelty and inhumanity and totalitarian approach of the Feds.

Being cruel.

Have you not read any of the 62 or so Executive Orders defining the operating parameters for ICE?

"Expands the focus of arrests of immigrants beyond those who pose a security threat to include anyone who is in the country illegally."
www.propublica.org

This is, quite clearly, not going after the worst of the worst.

And it provides no tangible benefit for the nation, and lots of harm.

The scope of the protests are much wider than that, and to pretend it isn't is disingenuous.

This way more brain dead than I expect from you.

ICE doesn't exist as a police force.

It exists as a paramilitary, heavy-handedly engaging in official repression, to make a clearly fascist political point.

American citizens are being physically abused; attacked.

You'll note I've been emphasizing AMERICAN CITIZENS in this matter.

That's because it's difficult enough to get you people to care about your own contrymen, much less some random migrant.

If you and your Air Force unit came home to do what ICE is doing, you'd be hated also. People would react.

Since you are professional military, maybe it's time for you to seriously consider such things.

After defund police.
After defund ICE.

News is putting out that the FBI had their car ransacked and vandalized in Minnesota. Apparently, it was their car with the government papers, body armor, and arms.

Why was the FBI there?

They should leave too?

Defund FBI?

Maybe Trump should send in the Federal agencies he wants abolished. That way, those agencies will be added to the list to defund.

Maybe Kash Patel's girlfriend needed a ride?

Immigration has been polled and polled and polled. Candidates for office run on immigration and how they are gonna start enforcing our laws and implement a better system that provides a pathway to legal citizenship. Bring these folks out of the shadows, control who comes into our country, etc.....all the same stuff voters have wanted to hear.

And this has been going on forever.

Along comes Trump......the first guy in maybe 40 years who actually takes the issue seriously. Tries to build a wall, now he's ramped up an existing agency to unprecedented levels and is publicly sending them where he can gin up aggravation the most.

Are the immigration reform folks happy now? This is what you voted for.

Politicians for decades have pretty much known that voters will always say immigration reform is a very important issue to them......but they're full of ----. It's not that important.

Trump wasn't in on that....he thinks they were serious.

Please explain to me how a Native American deserves to be deported? They, too, are being scooped up here based on the color of their skin. They are scooping up citizens, detaining them for hours, abusing them, then dropping them off far from where they were picked up and you think THAT is right?

How about the ICE people make sure the people they are detaining are, in fact, not supposed to be here. Is THAT too much to ask?

You hit the nail on the head. It is this a segment of the government's "Policy" and not following LAW. Not to mention the Constitution. Since when doesn't actual LAW matter? Obviously these are not all "illegals" they are deporting Americans (yes it has happened multiple times).

ICE is being more than doubled in size and using very loose recruitment to bring in 1/6er types. ICE's use has been expanded far beyond the actual law for what ICE can do into cruel and unusual punishment, excessive force, etc.

If it looks like the gestapo (military fatigues, ARs, etc), talks like the gestapo (One of Ours, All of Yours) and acts like the gestapo (warrantlessly breaking down doors, concentration camps, murdering people, disappearing people, deporting American citizens, no due process, cruel punishments, etc) - IT IS THE GESTAPO. The intent is to create fear of an untouchable "Police" force. You don't get anymore dictator 101 than this. Multiple videos of these thugs threatening people after Good's murder asking if they haven't learned the consequences yet.

I mean get your head out of your ***.
