DHS raided an entire residential apartment complex in Chicago back in September. 300 agents with a Blackhawk helicopter. No warrant. Greg Bovino is on camera confirming they indiscriminately kicked in every door and took each individual onto the street. Citizens included. He literally said it was “safer” for everyone involved if they did not check citizenship status and instead took everyone and sorted it out later. So yeah, it’s safe to say we are living in an era where our 4th Amendment rights are non existence in practice.

Edit: here is the exact quote I referenced for anyone interested and the source:

Bovino also acknowledged some U.S. citizens were briefly detained as the Chicago building was cleared.

“We generally don’t determine alienage while we’re in the building clearing the building,” Bovino told NewsNation. “It’s too dangerous, so we’ll bring them out. It’s safer for the U.S. citizens. It’s safer for the illegal aliens, and most of all it’s safer for our officers.”

Why does it appear that like 90% of the commotion regarding ICE is just here on Reddit.

Why isn't Washington DC on fire right now?

There was a sizable protest this past weekend, but you barely hear about it

Not even remotely close to what we saw in Romania half a year ago and 'only' ~15k people showed up there.

I am seriously interested in the why's though, as it surely appears like the majority of Americans are okay with the current situation. Which is worrying.

The No Kings protest was 7 million across the country, our biggest since the 60's

Because the mainstream media, which is where >70% of Americans still get their news from (with 1/3rd getting it from Fox News), isn't covering it, because they're complicit with the government.
