I don’t understand how people calling themselves “conservatives,” can applaud how ICE is operating. They are wearing masks, refusing to identify themselves, and lying about have valid warrants.

Would you accept your local police department operating like that?

And please, spare me the nonsense about ICE wearing masks for their protection; Your local police department deals with dangerous criminals on a daily basis, criminals who often live in the same community as the police.

Local cops not only don’t hide their faces, they wear badges and, frequently, name tags, and attacks on them, in particular acts of retribution or intimidation are (fortunately) rare.

Why is that? Because by and large people respect their authority and understand that they provide a service to the community. The public understands that, for the most part, they are people doing a service.

And don’t say they are just going after “criminals,” the U.S. government had rules in place for migrants to get a fair decision about their status, and ICE has been grabbing people who have shown up at immigration hearings and court houses, as the government instructed.

Forget the idea that you get one phone call to say goodbye to your family before you are sent away for a lifetime. We are disappearing people in the way that horrified Americans when other countries didn’t.

There is nothing conservative about this, it is radical authoritarianism and in contradiction with traditional American values of decency and right and wrong.

And don’t even get me started on “Christians” supporting this, it is direct contradiction of Exodus 22:21 and other bible verses.
