Then why are they wearing masks?
- 15155 10mo agoProbably so unhinged individuals don't show up at their homes and attack their families for performing unpopular law enforcement functions?
- sethammons 10mo agoInteresting that record deportations under the Obama administration didn't spur such reactions to immigration enforcement at the time. Has there been any change in behavior by officials?
- ypeterholmes 10mo agoAny change in behavior? Is that a joke? Setting aside the masked men terrorizing our communities, immigrants are being literally tortured inside camps across the country. They are being treated worse than criminals- tortured. Abused. What's happening right now is horrific, and the dehumanization propaganda can only be compared to Hitler's vilification of the jews.
- ypeterholmes 10mo agoSetting aside their lawlessness, it sounds like we agree they are unidentifiable, meaning their identity is a secret. So they are a secret police. And you support that for some reason, maybe because you haven't read a single history book.
- 15155 10mo agoIs this supposed to be some kind of "gotcha?" I don't really care about the language being used to describe this law enforcement agency: it isn't going to change my opinion about their mission or somehow change their legal ability to carry it out. You're right: because I do not want illegal immigrants in my country I haven't "read a single history book."
- ypeterholmes 10mo agoNah, it's your support for lawless authoritarianism because you think it will improve your safety- that's the part you missed in history class. That's the con you are falling for. The truth is that once authoritarianism takes hold, nobody is safe. Many Germans who thought the Nazi's would only target "bad people" learned this the hard way.
