I am confused about the sheer volume of seemingly illegal actions these fascists are getting away with. The amount of US citizens unlawfully detained, the warrantless surveillance and raids, the refusal to identify themselves, and the clear pattern of violence though indiscriminate physical assault.
Where are the class action lawsuits?
Why are no Democratic politicians calling for ICE’s leadership to be investigated, impeached, imprisoned? Even if Democrats are kinda feckless and racist themselves, surely they’re not as stupid as the Republicans and can see the threat that ICE represents to the economy, if nothing else?
I’m just astonished by the absolute dearth of any resistance to these squads of lead-poisoned idiots who don’t follow any rules and are seemingly only motivated by a desire to hurt people.
Moreover… I want to believe in rehabilitative justice, and if we ever want to see former ICE agents get treatment and re-enter society as productive upstanding citizens, it would be best to stop them before they’re too far gone. Not to make it out like they’re the primary victims here, but I do believe what they’re doing is actively harming themselves.
Making immigrants more precarious is something that both sides of the aisle are going to be happy with. It gives capital more power to exploit them after all. The threat of being abducted at any point of your life is a strong disincentive to any complaints.
Dems are solidly on the 99% Hitler grind set, they have been for a long time. So as long as republicans are pushing the envelope further they can just inch along and still expect people to vote for them as the less bad option. Just like how building a wall on the border to Mexico went from being derided as cartoonish to being something they bragged about doing better than Trump.
