Congratulations, you have discovered the secret to how authoritarians can invent infinite crime.
- like_any_other 1y ago> Send federal agents illegally into cities. Why 'illegally'? Isn't it (exclusively even, I think) the role of federal government to enforce immigration law? How else would they do it if not by sending agents into cities? Especially since many cities - called sanctuary cities - explicitly don't cooperate with immigration enforcement.
- legitster 1y agoYou're right that it's not illegal for ICE to go into cities where they are unwanted, but the extent of their on "smash and grab" raids in these places is definitely unprecedented. They are also clearly committing crimes left, right, and center as they make their arrests and basically facing no repercussions.
