Their mission was to arrest people unlawfully in the country not saying they shouldn’t do the other things but the gangs are probably mostly if not all American along with the Epstein list
Not to make light of the terrible constitutional crisis this nation is under, but ICE literally means "Immigration and Customs Enforcement". It's literally in the name that they won't be going after gangs. So that statement is laughable at best.
Now, the military deployments, those could have been used for that reason.
Then again, in 🤡 world over here, I'm surprised there's a distinction at all.
You're either trolling or genuinely out of the loop. They don't care if they're in the US legally or not, they've been deporting people with valid visas, green card holders and even US citizens. The Supreme Court decided it was ok for ICE to target people based on their appearance. Plus jumping the border isn't a criminal offense, just a civil one, which is like saying we should deport people for speeding
I'm not out of the loop, and I'm not disagreeing with anything you said. I'm addressing what the meme content has, and calling out that it's false. It's much better to focus on the facts, like how people are dying in ICE detention centers, rather than lying to make a point
No, that's how fascists work. Nobody said anything about unchecked immigration.
They hate minorities, so they make it near impossible for certain groups to immigrate legally. However they do absolutely nothing to punish employers who put those same groups to work at low pay, which undercuts the labor market, because what they really want is a slave class.
Ok but the question is why any type of immigration is illegal. The answer is because countries have rules about who can come in, and those rules are laws

It was never about making America safer, it was about making Americans scared.

Going after gangs and criminals would be risky! Ice melts when confronted with heat.

Easy pickings to prove you’re “doing something”.

They want those people still on the streets so they can use their crimes as talking points for more and more crack downs.

Bullies only go for the easy targets. They live in fear.

One would think they are going after gangs considering they claim every immigrant they catch is from some international gang.

Is law abiding the correct term here if they're here unlawfully?
Whether or not the US should consider them illegal is a different story; but if they don't have valid residency, they're already breaking the law

You're nitpicking to cause discourse, to give an excuse to Gestapo scum.

Do the words "due process" mean anything to you?

Why is any kind of immigration illegal? Why is it so hard to move to this country?
Because racists got themselves put in charge, and they made it illegal.
No one is illegal on stolen land.

Because that's how laws work? Virtually no country takes in immigrants unchecked

Oh sorry, I presumed you'd give the question more than a momentary thought.
