ICE using military tactics (be it trenches or masks) is the real problem here. ICE aren't soldiers, they're a part of law enforcement.
Unfortunately in the U.S. today we not only do use troops for law enforcement, but we're using law enforcement as troops. Neither is the correct role for those services.
- kragen 1y agoYes, it's a big problem, and what you're seeing is only the beginning.
- tracker1 1y agoFortunately, the National Guard members have better training than most law enforcement on how to properly interact with civilians (the public).
- tremon 1y agoPlease stop calling ICE law enforcement, that just gives gives them a veneer of legitimacy. What they enforce is not law, it's the whims of a despot.
- kragen 1y agoThe US does in fact have customs and immigration laws; are you claiming that those laws were not properly passed, under some kind of anarchist or Sovereign Citizen kind of theory? Or that the State has not charged ICE with enforcement of them?
- tremon 1y agoare you claiming No, I'm not.
- troyvit 1y agoI think they're saying that while ICE calls themselves law enforcement they're really just (at least acting like) a bunch of thugs. When you give a group this much money and this much power and a bunch of unrealistic goals I can see that happening.
