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.

    And I think it’s kind of weird, if anything, that we’ve seen so few cases of violence in self-defense against these guys

    Ngl in this racist ass country it makes it even more confusing when you remember that like half or more of ICE agents are Latino

    On top of “How has no one shot at the random gang trying to kidnap them?” I’m wondering how some 2A freak hasn’t shot at them because he “saw a bunch of Mexicans jump out of a van and try to kidnap an old woman, assumed they were MS13, and started blasting”

      This has to happen at some point, right? You don’t even need to be a freak, per se. A well-meaning person who carries a gun might easily look at that situation and try to intervene. “Bunch of scary guys in masks assaulting someone” is probably like top 3 good-guy-with-a-gun fantasies. They made 6 Death Wish movies, including one fairly recently. Are you going to tell me that there aren’t plenty of people out there just itching to shoot at a gang of anonymous thugs? It feels inevitable.
