Not trying to own anyone? I kind of meant this as a joke but also kind of mean it literally. Like if residents of Minnesota don’t want immigration enforcement in their communities, then they should be totally willing to take in illegal immigrants from other states who don’t want them, right?
Immigrants are people who move. Humanity evolved in the Middle East. Therefore, anyone not in the Middle East is technically an immigrant. Being a nation of immigrants doesn’t mean shit. Can I sneak in to Canada, break their laws, and just expect to still live freely among their people?
Yeah the guy in Minnesota they pulled out of his house in the bathrobe wasn’t the guy ICE was looking for, and when ICE said who they were looking for in that house, the Minnesota Dept. of Corrections was like “we literally have that dude, that house was where he lived when he was arrested”
I’m not familiar with that particular instance. But, DHS has slandered people as gang members who were not multiple times in the last year, so I think the unfettered lying in the administration has undermined the public trust to a point where people have a knee-jerk reaction to reject or accept their allegations based on politics, even though it’s always a mix of truths, half-truths, and lies when government agencies mislead.
People admittedly didn’t have the facts in that one and the media was honestly pretty slow about it. The fact that a Venezuelan gang was present in Portland, of all places, seemed unlikely. There was also the *fact* that ICE did not call for medical assistance after shooting them. That is completely beyond the pale. Even local cops administer first aid until the ambulance gets there, even if it’s a criminal
The bottom line is today’s tragedy was caused by the failed city and state leadership who has fought the federal government every step of the way. This has resulted in overworked agents being harassed, assaulted, lied about, and screamed it in chaotic environments 24/7. Of course mistakes were going to be made. Democrats made the city into a powder keg waiting to explode and let their citizens get caught in the crossfire
Liberal politicians and activists allowed millions of people into our country completely unvetted, demonized law enforcement, and encouraged violence and riots. And now you’re clutching your pearls because someone was killed. Tragic? 100%. Unjustified? Yes from what I’ve seen so far. The fault of people like you? Absolutely
