When people physically oppose law enforcement that’s kind of bound to happen, no? Is law enforcement supposed to not do their job because people don’t like the law?

well, what happened to freedom of speech? maybe if enforcement was actually doing their job correctly instead of arresting everyone with a Hispanic last name or anyone who looks brown regardless of their legal status, or kicking over memorials of victims or even going into places that are supposed to be safe Havens.

I’m not sure what any of that has to do with the concept that it is federal immigration officials’ job to enforce immigration law. If you directly interfere you are committing a felony, and unfortunate things happen when crimes are committed. I believe in America and our justice system to rectify mistakes law enforcement makes. If someone gets arrested that shouldn’t be, I expect them to fight and win in court for their release and rectification.

Genuine 2 questions for you: Is interfering with federal agents performing their jobs legal? Why are these incidents occurring in Minnesota at much higher rates than anywhere else?

These incidents are happening in Minnesota because ICE has been deployed en masse to Minnesota, in larger numbers than have ever been sent anywhere as part of any operation before now If they do the same in other states, expect to see the same thing happen in them

Literally the only thing that would have kept you from supporting the Nazis in the 1940’s is the fact that you’re Jewish. That’s it nothing else because the Nazis were just following orders & getting rid of the criminals who were hurting the country. Also you understand the holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers & was instead a fast evolving series of actions by the government over the span of 10 years. The reason for the comparison is because the same stuff that’s happening now in the US

You say it’s the same. I say it’s not the same. Hitler painted art and had a dog, if you do too then you’re pretty much the same as Hitler. No one is rounding up families and putting them into labor or death camps. No one is advocating for that. No one is questioning their humanity. People who came in illegally get removed. Very basic immigration law, and does not in fact conflict with Jewish values in the slightest.

I just want to reiterate you were extremely wrong in your last statement as far as what’s happening but as for what should happen. The process to come into the country legally should be changed to make it much easier. The only difference between us & most immigrants is paperwork that’s it. Anyone committing serious crimes should be caught, tried, and locked up if need be so not much changing there.

You understand that a large percentage of undocumented migrants are already known by the government & that’s before Trump. Like Ice loves going to immigration court & detaining people. Idk if you can comprehend what that means In case you don’t it means that many while already here are actively going through the process to try & make sure they’re here legally. I say let them keep doing that without fear. Like unless they commit a major crime I really don’t see the issue

I could understand you believing this and standing by it, it makes complete sense. But what I don’t understand is you seeing no issue with it. Why would we want to wait until someone who shouldn’t be here in the first place commits a crime to remove them? One single American life lost to someone who shouldn’t be here as is is already an avoidable tragedy. Even if the rate is 2%, that’s 2% higher than 0

I mean the Nazis said the same thing. Jews are violent criminals ruining our society. We need to get rid of all them to avoid any future harm. The laws made it so Jews legally were being detained. Also why don’t the lives of all the immigrants fleeing countries that we ravaged through sanctions, coups, funding of death squads & far right dictators matter?

Deportations will still hurt you due to the economic impact that they have on the economy. Also the Nazis started by doing mass deportation but quickly switched to killings when they realized how much more expensive deportations were. They tried hard to keep the killings secret from the public as well. Plus the first concentration camp wasn’t in Germany. Anyways & unrelated but have you heard of El Salvador & Cecot or how a bunch of people detained & held at Alligator Alcatraz went missing.

You’re comparing apples to oranges again. Nazis took people who were there legally and deemed them enemies of the state and put them in camps. The US is seeking people who snuck into the country or overstayed their visas in order to send them back to their home country where they can try again the legal way. They were offered cash to go. The immigrants lives DO matter. They matter but to the US government not more than US citizens. And you disagree on that, ok that’s fine, but I disagree

The US government *already deported people* before Trump, it already deported people before ICE was established as part of the post-9/11 hysteria of the Bush Administration. Now our government has deputized members of white nationalist militias like the Proud Boys to come in as masked thugs in unmarked vans kidnapping people off the street and, as of recently, blatantly murdering civilians on camera, with said murders being defended by the president Is that in line with Jewish values to you?

The law does not say that undocumented immigrants get deported unless they’ve committed a crime since being here.

There is no “valid legal consequence” that is not handed out by the courts.
