The ACLU condemned Obama for his use of ICE. Many times.
If you condemn Trump, it is only logical to condemn Obama for doing largely the same thing. The ACLU does.
Heres an ACLU article that discusses both:

- hypeatei 10mo agoYou're being disingenuous by saying things like: > largely the same thing Look at the points I mentioned and tell me how they're the same. I don't contest that law enforcement does awful things with their power, but this administration emboldens them is the difference. > I do not agree on Nazi actions, etc. That’s exaggeration and it’s not useful. What? You disagree with the actions but it's also exaggerated? > deployment and tactics of ICE that Obama and Trump are roughly equal Answer this for me: did Obama send ICE agents into cities as retribution? Did he send ICE agents into schools, hospitals, protests, etc.[0]? If ICE agents are known to abuse detainees, then why would you want them in sensitive areas? By that metric, these administrations are not even close to being the same. 0: https://www.ice.gov/doclib/ero-outreach/pdf/10029.2-policy.pdf https://www.ice.gov/doclib/ero-outreach/pdf/10029.2-policy.p... (hint: no he didn't - "Enforcement Actions at or Focused on Sensitive Locations")
- RickJWagner 10mo agoObama set the precedent, didn’t he? The ACLU calls Obama a monster. Now it’s time to fish or cut bait. Do you condemn Obama for using ICE as described in the many articles I have shared?
- hypeatei 10mo agoObama didn't use ICE to crack down on dissent or to sexually abuse minors, so no. He didn't set precedent for the ways they're being used now.
