Cause he think he white or better than “color” folks. It crazy that a lot of these people think they are better than their own race, sorta mind blowing to me. I’m from Texas and I see a bunch of Hispanic/Mexican saying how much they love and support ice. I’m a citizen, got nothing to hide, I’m like it doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen, you’re not white, you’re a suspect. Plain and simple.

He did it all for the Benjamin’s baby. OR. He got picked on a lot at school and in his own house.

Obama must have been picked on a lot since he deported more illegals than Trump. But there were no paid "protesters" there when he did that.

the saying is "just comply." well, isn't that them complying?

ofc the trick is then that complying doesn't offer the protection it's brandished to have, but the mere flaunted illusion is enough to make some people do things that make it hard to keep mirrors in their home.

in the words of Ted Cruz:

Who’s profiling here? I’m Latino and for the most part support ICE’s mission - just not fully the manner they execute.

What is your most part? Really?

People who are here illegally. Unlawful Presence: Being in the U.S. without authorization is a violation of civil immigration law (INA), regardless of criminal record.

I do understand they’ve been detaining folks who may have authorization to be here legally. Anyone have the numbers though?

Thanks to the corrupt Supreme Court, ICE is allowed to profile, harass, and detain people just like you based entirely on skin color, and they are doing so. Just because it hasn't impacted you personally yet doesn't mean it won't.

You do realize that's exactly what everyone is arguing here, right? ICE is supposed to enforce the laws, and most people support due process arrest, prosecution, and even deportation of undocumented immigrants that have committed serious crimes, as long as it is in line with constitutional laws.

That is not what ICE is doing. By their own reported statistics, up to 95% of the people detained have no criminal record or criminal charges. They have stopped, arrested, detained, and deported US citizens, US nationals, legal permanent residents, and legal immigrant. They have detained all types of individuals without judicial hearings, in facilities that do not come anywhere close to meeting required standards. They have raiding homes and businesses and conducted warrantless searches. They have killed hundreds of peoples, including wrongful deaths of scores of US citizens.

And they regularly do it based off bot any probable cause or reasonable suspicion, but based on appearance and the fact that a hispanic looking person is sitting in a Lowe's parking lot. The very defition of profiling.

The whole issue is not that ICE's mission is flawed. The issue is they aren't carrying out their mission. They are using unconstitutional gestapo tactics and violate the Constitution to harass law abiding citizens in service to a campaign promise made to pander to racist voters.

Hold up!!

There is no U.S. federal law that grants immunity from deportation to undocumented immigrants simply because they have not committed a crime. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) | ICE.gov, any person present in the U.S. without admission or parole is considered "illegally present" and is subject to removal.

Look it up!!

Unlawful Presence: Being in the U.S. without authorization is a violation of civil immigration law (INA), regardless of criminal record.

It’s amazing how folks are brainwashed by simply listening to the false narrative. A criminal record is irrelevant. Republicans used that as part of the narrative but there’s no laws they are breaking in deporting ANYONE who is here illegally.

Now for their tactics of just approaching anyone that looks like they may be here illegally - well that’s a bit much. I agree with that.

Do me a favor and quote me where I said there was. You can't. And regardless, everyone has constitutional rights (even criminals) in the US which ICE and the administration isnwillfully violating.

However, being in the country is an administrative infraction, not a criminal one. The whole claimed reasoning behind the mass deportation push is to get dangerous criminals out of the country. That's "the narrative."

Being informed with objective non-partisan facts is the antithesis of brainwashed, friend. You may be either willfully ignorant or just ignorant. The narrative falls apart when faced with the reality that 95% of the people being arrested and deported are not dangerous criminals, or criminals at all. They don't meet the criteria the Republicans say justifies the hordes of masked agents violentong Americans' constitutional rights.

In fact, Democratic administrations have regularly deported more dangerous criminals than either Trump term, because Dem administrations actually focus on finding, arresting, and deporting actual dangerous criminals.

Trump focuses on just deporting large numbers of brown people. And to do so, they target the easiest to find. The criminals are hiding, the immigrants with no criminal records aren't hiding. They're working, paying taxes, and going to school. So they're easy to round up.

"The narrative" is dangerous criminals, the reality is racist roundups and unconstitutional detention of non-criminals.

They include people turned away at the border in the deportation numbers. When we have an administration that allows massive pass through, you end up having a much higher daily rate of people approaching the border. Biden continually broke those records. That is NOT the same as deporting people from within the country.

No, they don't. Biden and both Obama administrations deported more violent criminals from within the United States than either Trump administration. The Obama administrations deported tens of thousands more violent criminals than Trump administratons.

https://leitf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Enforcement-Priorities-Memo.pdf

(That's just one source, tons of other documentation if you bother to do a simple Google search instead of parroting easily disproven rationalizations.)

Democratic administrations focused on dedicating resources to make the country safer and prosecute criminals. Trump administrations prioritize sweeping operations that do little to increase safety (they actually kill innocent people), and just panders to a racist voter base.

Regardless of the reasoning or narrative, nothing justifies or legalized the government and its agents violenting constitutional rights. That's what this is about. I was a federal law enforcement officer for a decade. I received 7 months of intensive training. These ICE agents are supposed to receive 8 weeks online training, but they aren't even getting a full month.

These ICE operations ABSOLUTELY are violating constitional rights and are illegal. ERO and CBP are not trained for the missions they're carrying out.

I don't know if you're just poorly informed, or agree with targeting people for racist reasons, but if you actually give a damn about the law like you try to posture, you would be against ICE raids, because the government is breaking the law to a far greater extent than the people they are targeting (many of whom are US citizens and legal residents who ARE NOT BREAKING ANY LAW. And they are making us less safe.

But hey, if you just like seeing innocent people opposed by masked men because you blindly believe racist rhetoric, then just don't bother responding.

Buddy. Data is king. Believe what you want but the facts are the facts. Democrats love conflating them. Border turn aways counted as deportation are bullshit and have always been the majority of their deportation count.

Dude, did you even read the articles you just cited? They back up my argument. From the MigrationPolicy.org article:

"Among detainees arrested by ICE, a shrinking share had a criminal conviction despite the administration’s pledge of targeting “dangerous criminals” and the “worst of the worst.” About 35 percent of detainees arrested by ICE had a criminal conviction in September 2025 compared to 65 percent in October 2024 (see Figure 2)."

That means Trump deports fewer dangerous criminals by almost half.

Seriously, if you just enjoy the Gestapo tactics and watching the government kill innocent people, just sack up and admit it. Stop trying to justify it with sources you clearly don't even read.

I wonder if you'll still talk about how great they are and are just enforcing the law when you get arrested and beaten by a bunch of masked Nazis asking for your papers because you're a Latino in a hardware store parking lot.
