Yeah, that is crazy

Good thing Biden took appropriate action and removed ICE's funding instead of constantly increasing it from Trump's deranged spending levels, or that would've looked (and been) really bad

Oh wait.

    Ice should exist, they just shouldn't be militarized and killing people in the streets.

    People shouldn't be here illegally. We do need enforcement of that, just properly done and not killing people.

    ”I'm fighting fascism, but some of the points they're making are good, you know?”

    What do you think ICE is if not militarized anti-immigration cops by definition?

    I don't know what your problem with Reddit was, but you should go back there, you'd fit in perfectly with your smuglordism.

    Aand there we go. You admit you want fascism, but done politely so you personally don't have to pay attention to it and feel bad. Congrats on being human garbage.

    Hanging immigration laws is common in all countries and recorded history lol.

    I'm sorry the education system failed you so badly you don't know what fascism is lol.

    You can Google it and learn something.

    Having any sort of immigration laws =/= ICE. ICE came in 2003, and was literally part of GW's own agenda to militarize the border in the wake of 9/11. ICE itself has only ever existed as jackboots.

    You can Google it and learn something.

    And again, that second article I posted literally talked about how more people were deported under Biden's only term than Trump's first. Many of those people likely died or were killed when they were 'returned' to wherever they were fleeing. Biden's attorney general is also the one who obtained the right to indefinitely detain migrants.

    Do you think Biden's VP, the person who said "Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk," was going to be humane about things? To say nothing of how she was a key player in the legalese that allowed for the border to be 'shut down' when crossings exceeded a certain number, which doubtlessly harmed many innocent people as well.
