guess that depends on what your definition of “innocent” is.

There it is. When you can’t defend the “ICE agents are incompetent and will hurt innocent people” angry Leftist edgelord take, just call the conservative a racist. lulz.

So be specific. Who are these “innocent people” you’re worried about ICE shocking? American citizens peacefully going about their day? Or illegal immigrants resisting federal officers attempting to enforce immigration law?
(we all know the answer)

Because skin color has absolutely nothing to do with the distinction I made. You introduced race. Not me.

Klark, you clearly live in a bubble. If you haven't seen the incompetence from ICE yet you never will.

Impressive. You managed to dodge both the racism accusation you introduced and the very simple question I asked.

“You live in a bubble” isn’t an answer.

Try again. Who are these “innocent people” ICE is apparently running around shocking?

Its a fragment of my statement you're focusing on klark. If you're going to play pretend over ICE and what they've done so far as a competent upholding of law and order, this conversation doesnt hold any value to me.

Yet another reply, still no answer.

You called ICE incompetent, predicted they’d harm “innocent people,” then injected race into it. I asked you to substantiate any of that. You apparently can’t.


“This conversation has no value to me” is a pretty soft way of tapping out. Let’s not pretend you’re above… anything, or that you’re actually going to walk away from the conversation.

The government doesn't readily track (for the public) how many Americans they detain (sometimes by force) by accident/incorrectly. It's pretty well known they operate on a grab and sort it out later process though (surely you won't deny that).

We do know that are plenty of unconfirmed reports out there of them detaining folks incorrectly.

I think the larger issue is that you damn near only need to be a warm body to be an ICE agent these days. And as we've seen in police departments as they've lowered their standards, that doesn't exactly attract the type of individual that would use good judgement on a tool like in OP. That shouldn't be a D or R concern.

Fair enough. I’ll concede mistakes happen. No federal law-enforcement operation of this magnitude is going to bat 1.000.

But you also admit there’s no real data on Americans being incorrectly detained, then cite “plenty of unconfirmed reports.” That’s not exactly compelling evidence that ICE is routinely rounding up innocent Americans. Despite what Reddit conspiracy theorists suggests…or what the mainstream media implies.

If aggressive immigration enforcement results in occasional mistakes, fix the mistakes. Don’t neuter the enforcement.

There are millions of illegal immigrants who need to be deported. It takes a few broken eggs to make an omelet. Sorry, not sorry.

They cut government jobs which at at least resonate economically in communities with more middle class people spending paychecks.

Spend even more tax money but make sure more is filtered through big corporations.

I mean, I'm not getting info from Reddit. A general internet search will show a lot of local outlets reporting in their area where they've spoken with people.

You have to utilize unconfirmed reports because there is no official public "data" being released. That's a purposeful government tactic to conceal numbers (and not exclusive to this administration or the federal level either).

The issue is whether it's more than just a few broken eggs. And the 8th Amendment applies to non-citizens as well. History has very much let us know that if they're willing to get away with violations with the lowest common denominator, it will eventually escalate up the scale to born and bred American citizens.

You’re kind of proving my point. We don’t know how many “broken eggs” there are, but you’re assuming it’s a lot, assuming the lack of data is intentional concealment, and then extrapolating that into ICE eventually violating the rights of American citizens. Reddit or not, sounds a bit conspiratorial to me.

That’s a whole lot of assumptions stacked on top of “unconfirmed reports.”

And yes, constitutional protections apply to non-citizens. Nobody is arguing ICE should be allowed to torture people. I’m arguing that the possibility of misconduct isn’t a reason to hamstring immigration enforcement.

Deport them all, no matter how many feelings are hurt along the way. Sorry, not sorry.
