I do believe that we need ICE & Border Patrol agents. They should make sure that Illegals who commit violent or felonious crimes are deported and that our border immigration and amnesty laws are obeyed. That should be done within the framework of our constitutional laws.
That being said, our current ICE and Border Patrol agents do not follow our constitutional laws. They use force & violence to intimidate - not just illegal people but anyone they want.
At any time they decide, they could break down your door with no warrant, group tackle to the ground, punch & shackle, even detain. Oooops!😲 wrong house, wrong person, and no accountability.
They can stop and drag anyone out of their car because they happen to turn on the street the agents are on, or follow an unmarked agent car too close, or just because. They can stop, break vehicle windows, drag you out of the car, group tackle to the ground, punch & shackle - even detain or shoot you. Oooops!😲 with no accountability.
Anyone could be walking down the street. They can stop them on “suspicion” demand id, group tackle to the ground, punch & shackle - even detain. Oooops!😲with no accountability.
If you are a person of color the chances of this happening are increased exponentially
In my city we now see ICE agents decked out in full tactile gear & guns roaming in packs in our grocery stores, on our streets, in airports, by schools, churches and hospitals, in the halls of our courts. There is always the fear they can shoot and kill you with no other excuse than they felt “threatened”.
You don’t have to be armed, you don’t even have to look dangerous – you just have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, be the wrong color or have the wrong look on your face. Neighbors are turning on neighbors.
This is where we are now in the United States. If this does not worry you because you think you aren’t impacted because you are white, you voted for Trump, you hate illegals, you mind your own business – think again. Maybe today you aren’t the target, but what about next week?
Absolutely know my personal opinion of upset will open me to nasty, name calling responses - that is who we are now.
