Many people have been pointing at Waco for years. Even Janet Reno later admitted regretting that episode, and yet you do not hear the left in the US saying at all that this was a problem - in fact it is stereotypical far right recruitment material.
This is why it is clear the problem with ICE is not their mode of enforcement, which is far less egregious than the Waco situation, but the fact they are remotely effective.
I accept that US law, and its execution on border crossings and asylum was disastrous. Over many administrations.
That in no way justifies this move to an unaccountable paramilitary force attacking US citizens who are legally exercising their rights.

Sure you do. The left has been very critical of this sort of police militarization. They gave the cops an M1 Abrams to play with, FFS.

That link makes no sense for your comment, but it was an interesting insight into your thinking.
I'll ask more directly, then, I suppose.
Do you believe Trump should be immune to those felony convictions? Are you… selective in which laws you like?
