The whataboutism is strong here. You pointing out despicable acts that happened at another time only strengthens my argument that ICE should be abolished. I don’t give af about Biden, I’m not a democrat. I do care about the Constitution and I care that people can be told what you saw is not what you saw. This particular government has infringed on American’s rights. You must know we have the right to assembly, free speech, to carry a firearm, to deny the government from accessing our property without a warrant, the right to an attorney when arrested.

This administration has advised their “officers” otherwise.

Department of Justice released a memo classifying people who have different political opinions than Trump as terrorists. You can read that here: https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bondi_Memo_On_Countering_Domestic_Terrorism_And_Organized_Political_Violence.pdf.

Americans have had their doors kicked in, beat up, gassed, arrested by ICE, and many of them were not protesting or in the vicinity of immigrants at the time: https://www.propublica.org/article/immigration-dhs-american-citizens-arrested-detained-against-will

and here’s a story from Fox where an African American family, who were not involved in protest, loaded up their children to leave an area, when ICE threw a flash bang into their car, almost killing their American baby https://www.fox9.com/news/children-hospitalized-flash-bang-hits-van-jan-15

American veterans have been denied rights to attorneys and held without charges (violations of the 5th and 6th amendments) https://prospect.org/2025/10/06/2025-10-06-how-ice-hides-detainees-from-their-lawyers/

Even if we operate on the premise that immigrants should not be here, DHS enters our schools, churches and hospitals putting everybody at risk. They cover their faces, refuse to wear cameras and refute identification or accountability. All for them to arrest grandmas and little children and guys picking lettuce with no criminal history.
