"ICE is not the problem, it's Joe Biden's open borders that caused this!"
Biden deported 1.1 million people. (and turned away 3 million during Covid.)
Obama deported 3.1 million.
Without any need for ICE to lose their shit.
This has nothing to do with deportation and everything to do with obedience.

Absolutely right.
And I think it's especially true in this case as ICE has been a magnet for thugs who couldn't cut it in the military or normal law enforcement but desperately want to be respected as A Troop.
This is why it's particularly effective when actual veterans show up to mock them.

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Trump ended US taxpayer support for a European ally fighting an imperial invasion - and then charged those same taxpayers additional tariffs to support his own imperial aggression against another European ally.

The most common warrant ICE uses is an Administrative Warrant. Of all warrant types, its the weakest because it's not issued by a judge or court, but an administrative agency. It does allow ICE to detain someone. It DOES NOT give them a right to enter your private property! Its NOT a search warrant.

Selling pardons is a quintessential act of corruption. This is criminal behavior and should be prosecuted (which is why John Roberts’ heinous immunity decisions was such a disaster). We need 1) impeachment; 2) a new law authorizing criminal charges against lawless presidents; 3) a new Supreme Court.

Why Trump’s pitiful new health care ‘plan’ is even worse than it appears
The White House’s health care gambit isn’t just a sham, it also diverts the process from an actually helpful solution.
