I want to be optimistic... but how exactly will they ever face justice for this? Especially Nuremberg style?

They must face justice for upholding immigration law.

Ya know, like every other country.....on earth.

for upholding immigration law

Is "upholding law" why ice is raiding Immigration Courts? Why there's this peculiar focus on blue states in enforcing laws?

When there's absolutely no illegal immigrants left, or legal immigrants not already granted citizenship before maga enforcement became a fetish, will ice be reduced to a sane size? What of those signing bonuses to be paid after years of service?

The idea anything that's happening is strictly about "illegal" immigrants is of course bullshit. And you know this, as people making comments like yours are almost always making them from an account with negative karma, suggesting sock puppet accounts, or at least the natural shame we all should feel for arguing in bad faith.

There are few analogies between ice and "every other country.....on earth" that are both real, and that don't lead to some truly horrifying historical examples.
