The ICEBlock removal is absurd when you consider Waze has been warning drivers about police locations for... Years? The only difference is which government agency is being monitored. This sets a dangerous precedent for selective enforcement of ToS really

I think they are different in that:

1. People are not harassing traffic enforcement, like they are harassing immigration enforcement.

2. Waze's information incentivizes people to follow traffic laws more deligently than they would which results in safer driving conditions for other people driving. ICEBlock did not have the benefit of making people follow immigration law better, or turn themselves in faster.

This is not "immigration enforcement".

It's paramilitary thugs beating up and disappearing political opponents. The closest equivalent would be the SA.

Wow I'm really glad they got the 15,000 illegal immigrants who had criminal charges. I'm also fine that the 16,000 people here illegally have to go back home.

Why were 30ish kids naked in an apartment building illegally? That sure sounds a whole lot like human trafficking, especially if the men arrested all had criminal records and gang affiliation.

Wow intentionally blocking a federal vehicle transporting a prisoner sure shoulds like interfering with law enforcement.

And in getting 30,000+ illegal immigrants into ICE custody, they've only detained 170 people? 130 of those were with criminal charges? That seems like a very low number.

This sounds exactly like immigration enforcement. Who are the politicians being rounded up? Who are the "political opponents" here? Not the 30,000 illegal immigrants who can't vote. Not the 130 citizens who committed a felony against agents.

Interesting conversation. I think there is a recent trend of closet nazis (or at least closet nazi-ish) outing themselves. They say and write things publicly, they previously would have self-censored in public.

Children sleeping in their beds, turned into something incriminating. So twisted.

If me saying I don't want people to enter my country illegally (especially with criminal records), that sex trafficking is bad, or that confronting the police with force instead of courts is bad makes me a Nazi in your eyes, then you are so far from normal human behavior you might as well be from Pluto.

The Nazi's killed, through bulk extermination, 13,000,000 people. Literally bulk gas chamber stuff.

That enforcing a land border is equivalent to you is insane.

They didn't start with that. They started by framing it as immigration enforcement.

"We are resolved to prevent the settlement in our country of a strange people which was capable of snatching for itself all the leading positions in the land, and to oust it." - Adolf Hitler, 1939

You know what the euphemism for that bulk extermination was? "Resettlement to the East".

Didn't you get the memo? Sex trafficking is just a hoax, Epstein acted alone, and Trump has nothing to do with that stuff at all. Or you know, MAGA is hiding something.

I forgot where I heard this quote but it stuck out to me, especially after the election where so many just didn't vote. "if the left won't protect the border a fascist will"

I think the small percentage of the far left that feels like it is ok to have immigrants here that are not following the rules of immigration and the small percentage of the right that feel it is ok to violate our constitution to stop these immigrants have taken over while the big middle just watches with their jaws open at what is happening.

> they are being put back in their country of origin at lightning speed.

Sure, sure, people are just being deported. Where did I hear that story before?

Oh, thats right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_Plan

It's not like anyone's talking about rounding them up in camps where they would be killed, right?

Oh, wait, what was that? https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/trump-joke-alligato...

Huh.

The people who threw rocks at a little black girl attending school never changed their mind. They never grew up. They never learned.

They were just made to shut up for a little while, but they still wanted what they wanted. They openly say that they are glad Trump makes them feel like they don't have to shut up anymore.

They never stopped voting. They were incensed that they were stopped from being systemically racist.

Is that what they did first? Or did they strip the citizenship away from their undesirables so they were illegal immigrants in their own homes, and used that as pretense to deport them to camps?

I wonder if they will shut up ever again.
