How could they possibly think they could get away with this?

Oh, right. They absolutely will.
Also, these Nazi goons have quotas to meet. And the quota doesn’t care if the arrestee is a citizen or not.
They are very much incentivized to keep doing this, and punished if they do not.
I hate being that guy, but source?
I haven't seen anything like that.
Scoop: Stephen Miller, Noem tell ICE to supercharge immigrant arrests
Edit: It's important to note that the reason that things are getting so brutal, why they're grabbing up citizens, not believing IDs, etc. is because this quota is impossible on a good day, and really really impossible when there are protesters interfering by exercising their pesky 1st Amendment Rights.
Could we get three thousand lily-white rich people to volunteer to get arrested and released every day so ICE can leave everybody else alone for a minute?
Thanks. I didn't see that.

Trump campaign on this during the election. You don’t remember?
I feel like I've had a shotgun of bullshit being sprayed for the last year. It is hard to remember all of the vile shit.

Thanks! It doesn't surprise me in the least.
I havent seen proof of a quota. I did see the skull badges for kidnappers though...
Oh yeah. I saw their little trophies. Which in itself is fucked up
I think those were from a joint taskforce exercise, not being handed out for quotas.
You can beat the charge, but you can't beat the ride. Even if he gets off, it cost time, effort, and money, so they hurt him anyway.
Shocking?
Who is still shocked by this?
Apparently people in the media.
But also, I’m pretty surprised how many Americans can’t explain what’s going on, even on a basic level.
Ask an American: if Trump decides to make an executive decision to incinerate people in his immigration detention camps, and federal judges say no, but he says, “I don’t answer to you,” then who is going to actually stop him? The good quality people of America who have already let him get this far? Those people?!
ICE is him doing whatever he wants. And when ICE becomes powerful enough, he will take the country by force. Which will be super easy and no one will oppose him beyond a picket sign.
We should try slamming them.
people are still ignorant asf over this, i was talking to a co-worker at work, they dont care as long as they get paid. and use the excuse because of so much "trump in the news" they turned off completely, its what is intended by right wing media, to make people ignorant. also living in one of the few cities that trump hasnt tried to touch because of the affluence/rich people in the city.
We still have hope in armed revolution and/or civil war. Especially high hopes on guns rich states like the Texas.
I know we all make jokes about Gravy Seals or Y'all Qaeda but the stark reality here is that we have a very large number of trained killers and white supremacists with military experience and active engagement in militias. There are some very dangerous people out there, they've stolen actual machine guns and explosives from the military. Others are manufacturing these weapons in their basement workshops but the police don't do anything about it because it's a "good ol boys" club. A fascist trained today, did you?
Exactly. Americans are fucked. That 50 caliber Gatling from Bubba’s basement might not be very accurate, but it doesn’t need to be.
Private citizens don't have enough ammo or replacement parts for the complex systems. Though a semi automatic rifle with 25rounds will take a lot of people out.
Well, bubba is shooting for the Feds. Not for the people. 30% want this very badly.
Have they detained John Oliver yet? It’s only a matter of time.
I sincerely worry for him if the current trend continues long. Hopefully he would leave before then if it were looking that way.
he likely has round the clock security if he doesnt already, and probably have avenues to escape to the airport/helicopter if he hasnt plan this already.
Also who is this "shocking" to? Those who have been under a rock for the past year?
" The episode has prompted renewed national scrutiny of immigration enforcement tactics and the use of subjective indicators, such as accent and language, in assessing citizenship status"
Is no one keeping a formal tally of illegal ICE incidents outside of the federated channels?
