I really don't think that's what's happening here. It doesn't take long to read up on the activities ICE has been (very plausibly) accused of doing that would shock many people. Excusing that just because they're a government agency just seems strange to me.
Could you object if it was a private company doing it, but not object if it's a government agency? I don't get it.
- bluecalm 6y agoThe government represents the people and is created through established political process. By refusing to work with it you're showing disrespect to huge portion of the population which elected it. I mean it won't ever be a healthy environment if you pack your things and refuse to play if the other group won the vote.
- detaro 6y agoJust because the government leaders are elected doesn't mean a majority of the population wants everything it does to happen. And disagreeing with specific measures is not the same as "if the other group won the vote" either. And even if an elected government does something it doesn't make it automatically ethical and worthy of support.
