But these people seem to have this crazy idea that anyone not openly resisting them endorses them. It’s an important tool to show them otherwise. There should be no situation in which they feel welcome. They should be worrying that every pair of eyes could be reporting them. And it should be broadcast loud and clear that the situation is of their own making.
ICE under Obama did operations against supposed extra criminal illegals (sex traffickers etc) and also against “illegals” (people just living their lives while “not supposed to be here” 🙄). While it’s definitely arguable they should have, they never got the kind of public resistance they’re now getting under Trump. At the very least that needs to be made un-ignorable.
This whole situation is all the more damning because a certain amount of this sort of shit was acceptable as status quo. Not many people are going to wring their hands over actions taken against cartel or sex traffickers, or unfortunately people who can be convincingly labelled as such.
So when it’s getting a response like this, it should be crystal clear just how fucking far over the line this is.
I personally still have a hard time advocating for precautionary violence, but there’s surely a lot of ground to be gained in terms of breaking ICE morale.
Good point. I would hope it’s a mixture of both.
