Also, if ICE was only going after the "real" criminals, what the fuck do we need ICE for? We've already got a stupidly-overfunded law enforcement and prison apparatus.
The fact that we need a separate agency to go after immigrants pretty much admits that the intent is to go after non-criminals.
If checks and balances were actually adhered to, I'd think that would come up on a background check and, while not immediately dusqualifying, probably is a large red flag.

Does a presidential pardon clear you for a background check? Not that it really matters.

Lol, you think the gestapo is running background checks on the terrorists they're hiring?

That’s what I meant by not that it really matters. I’m just curious

Ah, but you forget that in the mind of a Trump supporter ALL immigrants are criminals, and criminals must be punished!

I think it’s being forgotten that the people championing this think that just being here while brown is criminal.

Yep.
MAGA is a racist movement.
That's not debatable.

I wouldn't want to target actual criminals that have reasons and means to fight back.

The first time ICE comes up against actual gangbangers they're going to find out how much they don't want to keep being members of ICE.
