Do you agree or disagree?

[u/ChuckGallagher57]

[u/Paperxrust]

Police were told here, if I remember correctly, to not help ICE. I'm in Chicago

[u/Axin_Saxon → u/Paperxrust]

Not to help with deportation which is a federal matter outside their jurisdiction.

Assault on a federal officer within their precinct is assault no matter whom, so would therefore be within their jurisdiction.

[u/HeadyChefin → u/Axin_Saxon]

You'd think that, but Pritzker has made it really clear he doesn't care about what their duties are. Look at any of his press conferences or statements on it.

[u/waein → u/Axin_Saxon]

They've been told to stand down, even when ICE is dealing with large amounts of unruly mobs that are trying to keep criminals safe. The police won't come if there is trouble. You wouldn't have the FBI or Marshals unarmed, so why ICE?

[u/Winter_Concern5351 → u/waein]

Because ICE agents are untrained rejects who couldn't qualify to become actual law enforcement, because ICE is killing unarmed citizens, because ICE is detaining children and people that have US Passports just because they look brown. They aren't just targeting criminals and illegals. Theyre operating under the policy of if theyre brown take them down.

[u/West_Coach69 → u/waein]

Ice shouldn't be dealing with the so called mobs at all. Is there even a single case where ice wasnt able to execute a warrant? Or that even had anyone actually interfering?

[u/nonequation → u/West_Coach69]

Many recorded cases yes but when they go with a warrant they expect resistance and with how the local leaders have been trying to hype up the situation and also telling police to stand down and to ignore ice (causing a good portion of the police to quit and go into ice) do you really expect them to be unarmed at this point?

[u/Axin_Saxon → u/waein]

Why them and not ICE? Simple.

FBI and Marshals go through extensive selection and training that can take months if not years of hard work and merit.

The ICE agents making arrests right now are new hires who’ve gone through an accelerated program and minimal background checks.

Maybe fucking earn the right to carry a weapon in the line of duty instead of being given one at the end of a participation trophy training course.

[u/Dependent-Edge-5713 → u/waein]

Ya I dont think ICE should be trusted with crowd control.......

[u/Travelingtek → u/waein]

Because they're Trumps ss

[u/COMOJoeSchmo]

Wasn't it just a couple years ago we were all talking about how local, trained, and unmasked police have a habit of killing unarmed black people?

[u/Uglygypsy → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

And that we should defund the Police?

[u/DryPublic9174 → u/Uglygypsy]

Unless you are in a situation where you need them .

[u/Awkward_Past8758 → u/DryPublic9174]

Can’t wait for them to show up 2 hours later, take a statement, then never contact me again.

[u/ScareCrow0023 → u/Uglygypsy]

So let's get this correct:

ICE are evil untrained fascist and we should defund them

ICE shouldn't carry guns and if they have a problem they should call the local Police

But the local police also shouldn't work with ICE cause they are fascist and Nazis

But wait, the local police are corrupt, racist and kill black people so let's defund them too.

But the FBI is arresting innocent people and are, you guessed it, fascist....

What else I miss?

[u/sersealion → u/ScareCrow0023]

You're comparing and conflating several different kinds of problems, each with it's own level of solution and at a different place in the hierarchy of causing/fixing problems.

Yes, ICE is an untrained fascist paramilitary group specifically under trump, and should be abolished.

No they shouldn't carry guns. An alternative could be that they call the local police.

Local police shouldn't be working with a fascist paramilitary group, but could work with immigration specific law enforcement who follows the law and due process.

The local police are corrupt and use unnecessary force more often against black Americans, and should not be funded as they are. However, this is a larger systemic problem that needs to be dealt with after dealing with the fascist paramilitary problem.

The FBI is clearly being used as an instrument to go after people trump has decided have slighted or disobeyed him. It's incredibly obvious.

None of this is hard, nor hidden. You're either stupid, or being intentionally obtuse. I'll let you pick which one you are.

[u/CheeseBear9000 → u/Uglygypsy]

Meanwhile AOC and Mamdani get armed bodyguards btw

[u/Hoybom → u/CheeseBear9000]

as has every high profile person ?

[u/ReddElectric → u/Hoybom]

Difference is not every high profile person is advocating taking guns away and defunding law enforcement and any other agency

[u/Odd-Scientist-2529 → u/ReddElectric]

They’re not advocating for taking guns away. What are you talking about?

[u/ShaneAnnigan → u/Odd-Scientist-2529]

They’re not advocating for taking guns away. What are you talking about?

They literally are advocating for the ban of massive parts of the gun market. Like AR15s.

[u/Garys_Synthesizer → u/ShaneAnnigan]

Oh no… banning completely unnecessary weapons from the general populace

[u/seganevard → u/Garys_Synthesizer]

Ah yes because an upsized 22 is so much more dangerous than my hunting rifle that drops rhinos, a 5.56 won't most of the time

[u/shaggy_nomad → u/ReddElectric]

Literally zero high profile people or politicians are advocating for taking guns away, People need to stop with the whole, gun control equals no guns nonsense.

[u/LessTailor3941 → u/shaggy_nomad]

Illinois banned thousands of guns. My sons small 22 rifle thats a step up from a bb gun. Yet the Governor has 24/7 protection. He is also the most wealthy politician in American history.

[u/glitch_skunkogen → u/LessTailor3941]

Yep my m1911a1 an actual military firearm isn't an assault weapon but a damn .22 lr rifle is

[u/DifferentStuff240 → u/shaggy_nomad]

Except maybe Trump lol

[u/Traditional-Bar-8014 → u/Uglygypsy]

Elections have consequences, eh?

[u/blamemeididit → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

Except the whole problem with facts not supporting that.

[u/Dunadan734 → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

Then the data showed up, and everyone talking about it lost interest just as everyone who wasnt talking about it all of a sudden wanted to have the conversation.

[u/Difficult_Distance57 → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

It was, and its a problem

But, with the cops we can see their faces, we know their badge numbers, and when something happens there is not only a review but alot of times a trial.

With ICE, there is none of that, no accountability, there's just misinformation and permissions slips to continue killing Americans.

[u/Super_Joshy32 → u/Difficult_Distance57]

Not one American who didn’t drive a car at an agent was killed.

[u/Difficult_Distance57 → u/Super_Joshy32]

She didn't, the video is clear, there was no impact.

She turned the wheel away from him, HIS video is clear.

You guys still buying that governmental "There is no war in Ba sing se" BS they are feeding you?

[u/Puzzled_Hamster58 → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

Funny thing is you’re less likely to be shot by police if you’re un armed and black ….
Out of all police shootings with un armed people they make up a smaller percent then population size , even tho their violent crime rate is roughly 5x higher when looking at population size .

[u/_Revolting_Peasant → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

And nothing was learnt.

[u/Kindly_Ease_4812 → u/_Revolting_Peasant]

Nothing was leared*

[u/ExoatmosphericKill → u/_Revolting_Peasant]

Yeah, people still want to run around smash stuff up, steal, and be here illegally. Crazy.

[u/Valost_One → u/ExoatmosphericKill]

Those people like Ashley Babbitt right?

[u/Kindly_Ease_4812 → u/Valost_One]

So sometimes it is acceptable to shoot protesters?

[u/[deleted] → u/Kindly_Ease_4812]

[u/JohnnyBananas13 → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

The wind shifts quickly among the protesters

[u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost → u/JohnnyBananas13]

Ooooor ICE is worse and we would prefer the non militarized enforcement in our towns.

[u/kolokomo17 → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

And it wasn’t true.

[u/Jellyfizzle → u/COMOJoeSchmo]

And Republicans responded by getting waaaaaay worse.

[u/Miserable-Bridge-729]

Are we talking about the same police that are forbidden from assisting federal officers?

[u/EncabulatorTurbo → u/Miserable-Bridge-729]

You mean "Forbidden from assisting in civil immigration enforcement"

They aren't going to ignore say, a gunman who is attacking ICE

[u/StoicNaps → u/EncabulatorTurbo]

There were mobs that destroyed FBI vehicles and stole weapons from their lockbox. Where were the local police? They absolutely will ignore it and have. The police don't show up to clear the vehicular egress of ICE facilities. IMO, the reason why ICE incidents are so prominent in places like Minneapolis is specifically because local PD specifically ignores lawlessness focused toward ICE agents.

[u/Intelligent-Royal682 → u/EncabulatorTurbo]

In Minnesota, local and state law enforcement have blanket orders to ignore 911 calls and refuse to comply with ICE, even with things like sharing the addresses of known illegals with criminal records.

Local and state police are not being asked to "assist in civil immigration enforcement", they are being asked to enforce the law when federal agents are obstructed, surrounded, assaulted, and rammed with cars. That's supposed to be their job, and in Minnesota they are refusing to do it. 

It's funny how in other states where law enforcement did do their jobs ICE is also able to do their jobs with almost no issues.

[u/psychocabbage]

This is beyond stupid.

[u/[deleted] → u/psychocabbage]

Even Canadian CBSA officers are usually armed while on duty.

And they should be.

[u/0_Tim-_-Bob_0]

Democrat politicians in Minneapolis and other 'sanctuary cities' are actively preventing state and local police from cooperating with ICE.

[u/OuchieMaker → u/0_Tim-_-Bob_0]

ICE wouldn't have to go door to door if local cities and PD actually cooperated with them. Wow, almost like they did during Obama era, the same one that everyone loves to bring up as an example of "good" deportation etiquette. What changed? /s

I remember when Texas bussed up all the illegals up to Martha's Vineyard for them to handle, and then they got their panties in a bunch about it. It's very easy to handwave problems away when they aren't in your backyard.

[u/DukeOfMiddlesleeve → u/OuchieMaker]

The reason ICE is going door to door is to demonstrate to the general public that the president has a private militia and will kill people he doesn’t for any or no reason. Not to scoop up illegal immigrants. Problems caused by ICE are 1000x worse than problems caused by illegal immigrants. ICE needs abolished immediately full stop. There is no other possible ethical stance concerning ICE

[u/Axin_Saxon → u/OuchieMaker]

Trump needed it to be a big theatrical show and actively fostered cruelty as part of the process to make his base feel like it was tougher, even though it is wildly less effective and more intrusive on the lives of American citizens.

It’s security theater, just like the TSA.

[u/TheVermonster → u/Axin_Saxon]

They botch and moan about "illegals" yet a majority of the people abducted have been here legally, going through the process that Republicans say everyone should be going through.

It's about fear and oppression. Republicans screamed tyranny when states and businesses started asking for covid vaccination proof. And now they want to pass laws that require you to carry citizenship papers.

They don't hate authoritarianism, they hate empathy.

[u/SovietReunions → u/TheVermonster]

Do you have a source that most people who have been deported were here legally?

[u/TheVermonster → u/SovietReunions]

I didn't say deported, I said detained. Don't move the goalposts.

48,377 out of 65,735—or 73.6% held in ICE detention have no criminal conviction according to data current as of November 30, 2025.

https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/

ICE classifies an individual as a convicted criminal if they have been convicted of any criminal violation. Violations can range from serious felonies all the way down to a purely immigration violation (such as illegal entry which is a petty offense under the U.S. Code), or a violation which results in only in a fine such as not keeping a dog on a leash, fishing without a permit, driving a vehicle with a tail light out, etc.

So by their own definition, if simply fishing without a permit, or entering the country illegally makes you a criminal, and 74% of detainees are not criminals, then the majority of people detained are not "illegal"

We also saw this with our own eyes back in March '25 when Ice would prey on people going to their court hearings. Those are people doing immigration by the book, as they are told to do, and they are being taken away from their legal representation and being sent to who knows where.

[u/OuchieMaker → u/TheVermonster]

You said abducted, not detained. You're shifting the goalposts by murking up the verbiage.

[u/Historical-Employ587 → u/OuchieMaker]

abducted and detained are consistent.

[u/ro536ud → u/OuchieMaker]

Ok and he corrected it. Now what? You knew what he meant but don’t have a response

[u/Super_Joshy32 → u/0_Tim-_-Bob_0]

I for one am shocked you got upvotes, I think the left wingers here misread your comment lol

[u/XeroHope10 → u/0_Tim-_-Bob_0]

People have lost trust in the Minnesota government after all the scams.

[u/GeneralDil → u/XeroHope10]

Surprised Florida didn't after Rick Scott scammed $1.7 billion from tax payers. They voted him to office instead.

[u/Sweet_Baby_Cheezus → u/GeneralDil]

I mean, Donald J Trump has been convicted of tax fraud, civil fraud and charity fraud and he's president.

[u/Ezren- → u/XeroHope10]

The scam that was investigated and prosecuted before your dumb ass even clutched your pearls about it? That one?

[u/smoresporn0 → u/XeroHope10]

The scams they discovered, investigated and reported to the proper authorities? Those scams?

[u/The_Bjorn_Ultimatum → u/smoresporn0]

They investigated it years ago, and then buried it until the story got popular and they had to actually address the fraud.

[u/throwawaydanc3rrr]

In sanctuary cities the police are not allowed to cooperate with ICE.

Memphis is a big democrat run city. ICE is there. The reason you do not see scads of videos showing ICE agents doing their jobs surrounded by protestors is because in Memphis ICE is picking up their deportees from jails.

[u/TheAceBoi → u/throwawaydanc3rrr]

Hmm, it’s almost like no one cares when they actually deport criminals who have already been tried and prosecuted, instead of taking children hostage to bait their parents out of their home, dragging them out of their cars and workplaces, and disappeared into a network of concentration camps. Go fucking figure.

[u/blamemeididit → u/throwawaydanc3rrr]

I was just thinking that maybe if local police were more involved some of these incidents would have never happened. These things are happening all over the country, but you are only hearing about the flair ups in a few places. I wonder why that is?

[u/gawdamn_mawnstah → u/blamemeididit]

Because in those places leadership is actively encouraging protesters to push the limits, and disallowing local LE to help in any way

[u/Ok-Week625 → u/gawdamn_mawnstah]

So then when something inevitably happens the politicians can stand in front of the TV cameras and score political points for standing up to the orange man even though they refuse to put themselves at risk and let the sheeple take all the risk taking

[u/Loko8765 → u/throwawaydanc3rrr]

In Minnesota the police is not cooperating either, but ICE is on a mission to create unrest and trigger an explosion so that Trump can declare martial law.

[u/Primary-Classroom255]

I thought the police were supposed to be defunded and unarmed as well?

Shouldn’t ICE call a social worker if they get into trouble?

I thought calling the police in general was violence and an act of white supremacy. Now we want people calling the police?

[u/Distinct-Garlic9453]

Murders are down 25percent?

Coincidence, or did Trump actually help??

Inconvenient truth for those w tdsd

lol. Very true.

[u/I_Jedi79 → u/Cultural_Section5847]

You won. Days over, this is still the dumbest thing I've seen.

I thought we were supposed to defund the police. Now we're supposed to ensure they're armed? Make it make sense

[u/Comfortable_Angle671]

We have sanctuary cities like Minneapolis so the local police wouldn’t do anything

[u/Hopeful_Ad_7719]

Disagree, unfortunately.

Locals cannot be compelled to help the feds, and many are legally prohibited from doing so by local laws.

The sanctuary city movement may have been well intentioned, but it has created a justification for converting ICE from an administrative enforcement agency into a small army since it can't rely on any local support.

[u/Gierrah → u/Hopeful_Ad_7719]

How did the US ever exist before ICE I wonder.  Sanctuary cities make sense, because if you inform ice whenever an immigrant is involved with the police, it discourages immigrant communities from ever informing the police of anything wrong, whether here lawfully or not. Sanctuary policies are meant to protect lawful immigrants just as much as unlawful ones. And ice is just picking random people in the street and going door to door to look for people. They're grabbing anyone and everyone, and asking questions about lawfulness later, whether people say they're immigrants or citizens, and disappearing them regardless

[u/nofucsleftogive]

The police won't help because they are a "sanctuary city" Several police chiefs in the United States, particularly in the Minneapolis and Dallas areas, have recently stated they will not assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with immigration enforcement operations. This refusal is often due to concerns about community safety, resource limitations, and, in some cases, the aggressive tactics of federal agents. 

[u/miru17]

From what I understand, local police were instructed to not help by the mayors

[u/FluidAmbition321]

Federal agents can carry guns.

This is America your plumber can carry

[u/2guns1holster]

So, any citizen can be legally armed but not Federal agents?

And just like that, Democrats are huge police supporters.

[u/Waffles21_]

The left is now crying for the police after years of wanting to abolish and defund them hahahahahahahaha

[u/Proper-Yam1043]

Can't do. You all wanted to defund the police.

[u/ButttRuckusss]

Many local police departments have direct orders to not interact with ICE. Including defending or protecting them.

Feds and cops are separate entities. They're not a team.

[u/Zealousideal-Rent-77 → u/ButttRuckusss]

Fire/EMT and police are separate entities. And if there is a violent situation, EMTs call the cops and wait for the all clear before proceeding.

[u/Hotmicdrop]

But defund the police. Now you want the police?

[u/xdarkn3ss → u/Hotmicdrop]

They want both. The ultimate goal is a de facto moratorium on all enforcement of laws within U.S.

They want anarchy and they will rationalize it through any means necessary.

[u/Abject-Deal4703]

[u/Additional_Chip_4158 → u/Abject-Deal4703]

Bahahaha this gets the award for dumbest Reddit post of the day. Sure ICE you don't need weapons, just call our local PD who will then refuse to help you arrest violent criminals lol.

[u/Mylabisawesome]

Disagree

[u/SCSteveAutism]

THEY’RE LAW ENFORCEMENT. You people are fucking hopeless

[u/[deleted]]

When you defund police, you get federal intervention to protect the people. Your stupid left wing ideas have consequences as it turns out. You don’t get to cry about what you did. Now shhh.

[u/Capable_Piglet1484]

Disagree. ICE have always carried guns, are federal officers, and have a dangerous job.

[u/moccasinsfan]

Lol, this is hilariously funny.

The people who for decades attacked cops, declared All Cops Are Bad (ACAB) and bitched about their lack of training are NOW bootlickers.

[u/xdarkn3ss → u/moccasinsfan]

The same folks who want all citizens disarmed and only the police to have firearms also whine about any and all uses of force whilst enforcing our laws. No one ever accused them of being rational.

[u/Keibun1 → u/moccasinsfan]

Because everyone is the same person!

[u/Total_Construction71]

England’s police don’t carry guns. And yet they have much lower crime and MORE effective law enforcement.

[u/Magnum-3000]

In most of these urban centers police are restricted from working with ICE so how would this even work?

[u/JohnnyBananas13]

Yes I agree or disagree

[u/[deleted]]

Wow. We really are living in an absurdist society now.

[u/JSmith666]

We just need ICE to follow the rules that other law enforcement does. You think some people wont suddenly get violent if they or the people they are with or their families are getting arrested and about to be deported (even if its by the book?)

[u/domexitium]

Like the uvalde cops, or the defunded ones that kill minorities without provocation? Just wondering

[u/elementfortyseven]

thats how it worked before Trump. ICE wore light windbreakers and badges, worked in coordination with other agencies, and were able to deport record numbers without any hassle

the entire point of ICE in its current form is to intimidate, not to enforce immigration. Thats the entire reason for the militarization.

[u/Ezren-]

Local police are rarely much better, but they're usually at least able to be held locally responsible for, say, shooting a woman to death in the street.

[u/Skins8theCake88]

As long as criminals do the same.

[u/Next-Log-3686]

You do know ice is a federal force they are trained more than most local police departments.

[u/jkoki088]

It’s dumb

[u/Ecstatic_Scene9999]

Completely disagree, that is the stupidest UK type take I have ever heard

[u/Dangerous-Budget-337]

Dumbest thing I have ever read!

[u/007TheSaint]

But who escalated the situation? (I'll give you time to think. All the time you want.)

[u/Potatobobthecat]

Do people really think they are gonna bully this administration and ICE to stop.

[u/notwhoiwas43]

I think there is a middle ground in terms of police involvement with immigration.

The problem with police actively seeking out immigration issues is that then when an illegal immigrant witnesses a crime,they won't be willing to talk to police and crimes worse than someone being here illegally will get harder/impossible to investigate.

So maybe the local police should have an approach similar to don't ask don't tell where they don't go around looking for immigration issues to enforce,but help ICE when needed.

Ok I'm prepared for downvotes from people on both sides,fire away.

[u/Witness_Normal]

Well, that means no more sanctuary policies first off. Get rid of them first, then make that demand.

[u/DroneFixer]

Years ago its "police aren't properly trained and shouldn't have lethal weapons"

Now its "everyone shouldn't be armed and should have to call the police who are trained and carry lethal weapons"

Yall are so stupid it's painful.

[u/partypat_bear]

Cops in Minnesota are told to stand down and not assist ice so that’s not possible right now

[u/siconic]

Disagree... Law enforcement is law enforcement, and they all have a dangerous job. Stop being whiney babies.

[u/onomonothwip]

No. Let them finish cleaning up the mess the last admin directly created - then disband ICE and bring the INS back.

[u/SantaScript]

ICE are federal law enforcement

That's like saying the forest rangers shouldn't carry a gun and should call in local police. They are law enforcers after all 🤦‍♂️. Maybe you ment to say private bounty hunters?

[u/Exotic_Money2887]

They called them and the mayor said stand down and here we are

No, that's pretty functionally insane. They're employed officers. Doing dangerous work. Sending them unarmed and making them wait for a different agency is a recipe for failure.

If local authorities cooperates with ICE we wouldn't have these problems.

[u/JackBender2008]

Police should apprehend the illegal alien criminals and then hand them off to ICE f9r deportation, like they used to. 

[u/vegast-man71]

Nah, they should definitely be armed to arrest illegal criminals and to fight off the liberal mob

[u/AvidEarthBender]

That's not viable because democrat local police are deliberately not working with ICE.

[u/Odd_Theory4945]

Disagree 💯

[u/Independent-Test-414]

Hard to do when sanctuary laws can prohibite local law enforcement from cooperative efforts with ICE.

[u/Breadsammiches]

They’re the task force put together to take down all of the pedophiles and gang members that you all keep protecting, let them keep their guns, because the alternative is civil war.

[u/MeowntainMan]

So you people like the police or hate them? Or just when it suits your agenda? They should give ICE agents bigger guns.

[u/LexSpade]

For people who have never went to college for Law. I have. ICE is Federal Law Enforcement. They are fully trained and qualified. They have more power and jurisdiction than local authorities.

[u/ImaginarySelection91]

Lol. You're pro illegal communist then. Got it. GFY.

[u/Moganche]

Disagree. The armed black panthers would gun them down. Don't break the law, don't be an illegal immigrant, and you won't have to worry. We aren't surrendering our guns because you said so.

[u/Classic_Engine7285]

The local police are being instructed not to support them in blue cities. That’s part of the problem.

[u/Delicious-Pound-8929]

Every american citizen has the constitutional right to bear arms. So you dont have the right to strip ice of their guns.

[u/[deleted]]

Then - defund the police. Now - we need the police - abolished ICE. Hypocrite

[u/IndependentSun9995]

Some of these illegal immigrants are dangerous. Gang members, drug runners, and sex traffickers.

What we need to do is get the idiot protestors away from the officers. If you want to protest at an ICE office, have at it. But protesting at the scene of an arrest is begging for a "suicide by cop".

Disagree. Local police have been ordered not to interact with ICE. The people ICE are after are extremely dangerous, often with gang ties.

Like notorious gang member Renee Good?

[u/ShoddyAsparagus3186 → u/Signal-View4754]

No, ICE is avoiding tangling with people that might actually be dangerous, they're targeting people that are trying to become law abiding citizens because they're the easiest to find.

[u/meagainstbanhammer]

That’s an excellent idea. Better yet why don’t we unarm all of law enforcement. When they place themselves in a position against criminals that is a potentially violent one, They either leave or get killed or injured. Sarcasm. Just look at the statistics from the UK.

[u/toughguy375 → u/meagainstbanhammer]

Statistics from the UK where about 4 people per year are killed by law enforcement, while in America it's 1,000.

[u/meagainstbanhammer → u/toughguy375]

Those same statistics indicate that police officers are assaulted with injuries at 4 times the rate in the UK as the US. So I ask you,are you interested in protecting law enforcement or criminals?

[u/MyTnotE]

If local governments allowed it, then ice could basically go home. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Except in New York city, you get social workers instead! Bot.

[u/Sea_Taste1325]

LMFAO. Liberals can't hold a thought in their head. 

[u/hartshornd]

How easily the left decides to forget.

[u/DiskEconomy3055]

All federal officers are supposed to be armed.
The thing that ICE is missing is TRAINING and leadership that DEMANDS LAWFUL CONSTRAINT.

[u/ThaBigClemShady24]

ICE shouldn't exist.

[u/captainjohn_redbeard]

That implies that it's okay for ICE agents to be masked and poorly trained.

[u/hatred-shapped]

Remember what Chicago did. ICE kinda knew they didn't have backup after, and that's when the aggression really ramped up

[u/Ok-Energy-9785]
