> How are these ICE goons not being stopped by local forces? Because the rule of law isn't absolute any more? Because the local cops know these goons have the backing of the corrupt federal government and trying to get them to follow the law would get them (the local cops) beat up, jailed, etc, instead? Welcome to a shithole country! As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said "In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example... If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself.".
