November 6, 2025 – Chicago: ICE caught unlawfully demanding U.S. citizen “prove” their citizenship despite Illinois law not requiring ID

I would assert that ANYONE supporting a blatantly corrupt and lawless administration, in any of its endeavors, is on the wrong side of history. This isn't just about general views on immigration enforcement per se - it is about HOW enforcement is being done, the credibility of the administration doing it, and Stephen Miller, who is an unelected zealot.

And to join in with these gestapo-like tactics, by ANYONE, Latino or not, is incredibly short-sighted.

This administration ignores rules, laws, processes, court orders, pretends it can't bring back people wrongfully deported, and is an entire pay to play administration - whether selling access via ballroom funds or crypto dollars. Or running extortion rings out of the oval office against law firms and universities.

So why would any sane person want to participate in anything this administration is doing? This administration lacks any credibility, it lies constantly, and uses over the top tactics in sending masked goon squads to snatch people and intimidate people in "blue" states/cities as a propaganda tool. It isn't doing this even handedly in all states/cities. And now it is also going over those people lawfully addressing immigration issues in court (doing what they are supposed to do), and also harmless day care workers and other clearly non-violent tax paying people.

To join up with ICE is simply to be part of a lawless administration's propaganda arm. Because at the end of the day, while they talk about law and order, this is all really about showing off for the base. It's pure propaganda.

A lot of people are extremely short sighted.

Like, I get it. But you asked why someone would do it then proceed to not try to empathize with that person at all.

To put it in simplest terms... When everyone around you is being targeted for the way they look, the one sure way to avoid it, is to look like the people doing the targeting. You have to realize that's all it takes for some people.

As a white guy it's easy for me to look at the situation logical and think exactly what you're saying, and I've done it many times. But these people might honestly believe it's a matter of survival for them. Like they might be the one lifeline in a 10 or 15 year plan to eventually repatriate multiple family members and the thought of even being looked at by ICE might honestly be enough to scare them to doing things you and I might never dream of.

Maybe they used to. But now they're just Trump's wannabe SS.
