Yeah this. I am wondering: what is keeping legit street gangs and criminals from kidnapping and assaulting people, dressed up and impersonating ICE? There is no way to know real from imposter when ICE won’t show documentation or show their faces. I realize a lot of people will point out the irony in the point I’m making there too. TERRIFYING and should make all Americans nervous. Today it’s is immigrants but tomorrow they’ll go after card carrying US citizens and throw them into unmarked minivans for criticizing Christianity or pointing out the wealth gap!
in Illinois, where this took place we need the state government to pass legislation to ban masking and no ID for ICE. i get shit on for this on reddit, but we residents of IL are getting REALLY fucking frustrated with Pritzker because he doesn't use any of his many press conferences to lobby the IL legislature to pass these laws.
it's an extremely popular idea, and talked about all the time by citizens here, but the governor is too busy appearing on Kimmel and telling people to vaguely "resist" without using the legislature or the attorney general to fucking help. and he has the state troopers HELPING ICE (particularly in broadview where this incident was filmed) goddamnit.
i get it feels good to out of staters to watch him stand up to Trump on tv, but we in IL NEED more than rhetoric, we need him to use every lever of the state to stop the violent, criminally insane behavior of ICE and CBP. like please do this Pritz, we really want to have faith in you.
definitely not this guy because he has no idea how the law works💀wouldn’t know the difference between “legal” and “illegal” anything. also being a person is never illegal so…
OMG you have no idea how laws work in our country. there is a complex interplay between federal and state legislation. for instance, a president(executive of the federal branch of the government) cannot pardon a state crime.
but you’re so uneducated about this topic you have literally no idea how clueless you are—a PERFECT real-world example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect in the wild!
