• Ice is not new. Right. Ok. • Obama has deported more people than trump has. So? Not the point. • Local law enforcement used to let…yes, correct. • The policy makers…not allowing the Feds…got more info? Probably right but would like to see that as heard both sides including the bureau of prisons saying it’s a lie. That said maybe the courts are stopping them, but again, it’s ICE doing things inside the country they shouldn’t be doing unless one believes in the central state authority. • ICE is not military. Define military in a way that doesn’t include ICE. • They will pack depending on circumstance…yeah, not the point about operations away from borders.
The principle argument you are missing is the federal government is operating military forces (ICE) well inside the United States, not just around the borders. It should be the state and local officials doing this work, not the feds.
You get behind this you are helping move to the “papers-please” environment.
