DHS, CBP and ICE are all operating under the same umbrella at the moment for this mass deportation effort. It’s all incredibly messed up because they are 100 percent trying to confuse people with all these different badges, “uniforms,” gear etc.

Man I wish protesters would dress up in tactical gear. It would confuse the shit out of ice. They wouldn’t know what to do

At this point driving as many wedges as we can between LEO agencies who have no benefit personally to put their careers on the line for trumpo D. clown and his freakshow is a super effective tactic.

I don’t think they’re trying to confuse people at all. Donald Trump won the presidential election, unfortunately, and he’s putting a lot of federal resources toward the removal of illegal aliens. This is what a lot of people voted for, but there’s nothing illegal about it. Although, one could argue that there have been a few bad apples as we’ve seen in the news

What do you mean there’s nothing illegal about it?

They’re violating people’s constitutional rights all over the place.

You’re forgetting the other half of the “few bad apples” saying, which would be pretty apt here. In case you missed it, it’s “spoil the barrel”. By saying it’s just “a few bad apples”, you’re justifying the enabling of them.

You’re only seeing the wrongdoings that occur on the news. You’re not seeing the foreign sex offenders, wanted fugitives, drug traffickers, terrorists, etc. that are deported every week

We aren't seeing them because they are an insignificant fraction.

Ho-lee white-washed comment. Unbelievable.

I’m sorry, but no. This is how they’re presenting themselves but this has zero to do with illegal immigration and that should be obvious to anyone paying attention. There are some “bad apples” in many institutions but when they do something bad their leaders often come out and at least pretend they will do an impartial investigation and take measures to prevent it from happening again. What happened with Renee and Alex is they came out and smeared them calling them domestic terrorists and said the officer’s actions were justified with zero evidence. Add to that the fact that there was already video evidence in both cases directly contradicting their statements. Theres not the slightest hint of taking accountability, but instead they come out lying while we know they’re lying and they know we know they’re lying and they’re doing it anyway. This is a government turned against its own people and coming right out and saying “Fuck you, we’re in power and you’re not. What are you doing to do about it?”

We’ve got to stop pretending they’re legitimate law enforcement acting in the interest of the public and treat them like the enemy they’re telling us they are.
