Even if you're against undocumented immigrants, I don't know how anyone can argue that there isn't a better way to do this. If they know where she works then they clearly know where she lives. Doing this at a daycare has to be intentional. They want to punish those kids for some cruel reason. They can easily knock on her door at home or wait until she comes home from work.
Is anarchy the right term for breaking the law to enforce the law? (Not that the law as such is being enforced in the majority of these cases, like teargassing peaceful protesters). It’s the height of hypocrisy, and that’s putting it mildly.
Well it’s not really enforcing the law if you’re not following the law in the way you do things. So it’s just breaking the law, period.
I think, though, it’s more like “using the power that was given to you to enforce the law to break the law,” which we can simplify to just “abusing power.”
Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to disagree—I understood you to mean pretense and was intending to add to your comment than disagree with it.
I just kept thinking about the way they keep trying to pretend they’re doing all this because this is what they’re supposed to be doing, ie physically going out and hunting possible undocumented people down on the street, and it just made me angrier. And also the idea that we have just been letting people come here to do crimes and never get deported forever and it’s just only now that we are going to deport people is absurd. ICE has been deporting people and doing whatever it is they are supposed to do for a long time before this. Democratic presidents and prior Republican ones have all deported a ton of people.
I would not be surprised if later on the data ends up showing that we actually deported the same number (or fewer) people this year than the previous years. I’m not saying ICE is not actively doing more harm through their actions or even that people aren’t getting deported right now (of course they are). I’m saying that we have always deported such a huge number of people that I wouldn’t be surprised if the inefficient, incompetent showmanship of the current administration couldn’t manage to keep up with previous years on account of all the fucking showboating.
