People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left. - ThreadSky

Meeting their quotas is the main point. So choosing the easy way, seems to beat seeking all those dangerous rapers, killers, crazy people. Scary!! Or maybe there just aren’t that many of those people.

One of the most hardy Afghan resistance movements emerged when the occupation abducted tortured a child in a dark site and then refused to release him. Those who requested his return were then also abducted, tortured, and killed.

Exactly this. People want to work in the system because of its perceived safety and ‘correctness’. Folks don’t work outside the system, unless the system so profoundly doesn’t work.

“Come here legally” the GOP yells. They’re arresting the people TRYING TO COME HERE LEGALLY. AT THE COURTHOUSE. How does this make any sense?

It makes perfect sense when you acknowledge that they’re almost always lying about their real motivations.

I haven’t had a chance to talk to my conservative coworkers, but I suspect a lot of MAGA actually believed they “were only going after the ones who didn’t do things legally.” There’s an opportunity to show them this was never about borders or “the bad ones,” this is about getting brown people out.

Yes, I agree, great opportunity just talk TO them, many will see if you don’t talk DOWN to them. This is a great example

Everyone knows who the dangerous criminals are. Now they’ve brought the war to your streets –which is where it can be won. DO NOT LET ICE INTO YOUR CITIES. Angelenos did right, but needed more people. ICE got scared and dragged the LAPD in to save them. DO NOT ALLOW ICE ON YOUR STREETS.

Force is the only true law in the end.
