Twister,

I agree that Americans should not harbor illegal immigrants. That is, no one should be in the U.S. illegally. From what I read, most of the millions of illegals are people who over stayed a student or tourist visa. Very few are the rapists and murderers that Trump and his sycophants claim. Trump and Noem say they are deporting "the worst of the worst," but of course this is a flat out lie. ICE is rounding up people who are very ordinary, and have been in the U.S. for years, even decades, but who are here illegally.

From the legal standpoint, it made sense, but at the human scale what benefit was served by detaining and deporting the grandmother who came here from Ireland over 50 years ago to visit some family and decided to stay, but never got around to applying to stay or become a citizen? That's not the typical situation, but it's the logical conclusion if Trump's "all illegals must go" policy is used.

As to what ICE can legally do, it looks very much like "reasonable suspicion" equals anybody who doesn't have pasty white skin. That doesn't qualify as actual police work. And going by skin color includes millions of American citizens, so it's no wonder so many people are pissed at ICE and refuse to cooperate. I wouldn't and won't. And when "obstruction/ interfering" equals taking video of ICE doing its repugnant work, we're going to get a lot more of obstruction and interfering.

ICE is performance theater, not law enforcement. Police don't wear masks. Police don't dress up in full battle rattle costumes like they're marching into Falujah. Police don't walk up to cars and the first thing they say is, "Open the fvcking window!" ICE is about creating terror and getting Americans habituated to having Trump's Gestapo force roaming around American cities
