Also I live in a city/area where their presence has been increased. They straight up have been blocking traffic and pepper spraying people and then threatening them when they try to drive away. They’re not protectors, they’re trigger happy idiots that have been given a position of power
America was built on the backs of immigrants (and let’s not forget slavery, of course). Speak any language you want, follow any religion you desire, and be whoever you want to be. That’s what makes America America. Anyone who thinks immigrants don’t belong here is no American in my eyes.
Yeah, the law makes it hard to arrest people without probably cause for a reason. If you don’t have evidence that someone is committing a crime, you don’t get to detain them. That’s the tradeoff we make to live in a FREE society where you can’t be arrested for no reason going about your day. It quite literally destroys society to have NO STANDARD upon which to detain people. So NO, citizens shouldn’t be arrested. Ever. It’s unconstitutional & destroys our nation.
Girl good for you that you got out and had the time and the money to do that. Some people don’t have three years and the money to wait. Some people it’s die now or run. Please for the love of god look past yourself and see that your experience isn’t the only one to exist. You were either lucky or privileged.
