So we’ve gone up from 4th Amendment violations to the 5th Amendment. Soon it’ll be 6th, and the 13th is a little shaky.

    200 NGOs Oppose Biden’s Historic Expansion of ICE Detention System: “Detention should not be about politics.”

    ICE records show Biden admin plans could give Trump a head start on deportations

    President Biden Signs Anti-Immigrant Spending Bill Reaching Trump-Era Highs

    Biden’s Emergency Funding Proposal Seeks $14 Billion for Immigration System From Congress

    Tom Homan - Border Czar was originally appointed by Obama

    Keep in mind, these democrat moves to bolster ICE were happening while the right was blatantly telegraphing their moves to immediately weaponize ICE once they took power. Project 2025 came out and promised to use ICE to plunder and abuse Americans. Biden and team then spent the next 4 years not only failing to prepare for Trump, but preemptively strengthening the mechanisms Trump would eventually use to carry out project 2025. The democrats are controlled opposition.

    Sure, maybe we wouldnt be seeing this intense of immigration enforcement if Kamala were in charge or the dems had SCOTUS, but if she were, she’d be working behind the scenes to ensure the right had all the tools they needed when the time was right.

    The democrats are controlled opposition and the American electoral system is kabuki theater. The fascist descent is the only logical conclusion to the American political experiment- which was predicated on the wholesale genocide of Native American Indians and quickly pivoted to enslaving an entire continent.

    You realize what the only logical conclusion to your “pragmatic liberal utilitarianism” is, right? I give it 4 years before youre chiding leftists for not voting for dem candidate Ted Cruz as he campaigns against republican candidate Mecha Hitler. Youll still see nothing wrong with that. You will sell out the victims of American Imperialism to buy yourself 4 more years of political waffling - just as you did with Palestinians.

      They were working for the people because the people (who voted for Trump) wanted immigration enforcement.

      They were representing their people, maybe foolishly. They were making sure there was no valid reason to vote for Trump, thinking that the vote would go logically.

      Instead the vote went to propaganda and memes.

        So to you “immigration enforcement” is a valid reason?

        This is basically hating Hitler, not because the whole genocide thing, but because he was so undemocratic.
