Nobody who is an American should be ok with this, regardless of your politics. We need to stand up together and clearly indicate this is not what anybody voted for. Forget the Constitution, these people are breaking the Magna Carta. We cannot tolerate Federal actors that exist outside the legal system. We tolerated the FBI only because it was necessary, and we were careful. But local police departments should be standing up to ICE, and judges should be ordering their arrest for this behavior. It is unacceptable in a Democracy. I would encourage local politicians to discuss this with their local police departments and state police. I've worked with State Police before, I know exactly what they would say, at least most of them. They would say this extra-legal shit does not belong in this country, that it is unacceptable. If there would be a civil war happening, it will be between local and state police and ICE. Our friends and neighbors in the police departments should not be ok with this.

Trump's entire political career started with a speech calling American Hispanics criminals and yelling about building a wall. There are now counter-protesters showing up to ICE arrests to cheer them. And you'd have to live under a rock to not have seen Fox news or OAN or whatever spend the last decade (or, wow, is it really two decades now) demanding the imprisonment of their opposition. This is the Republican party now. Openly.
