What did the 170 citizens detained in immigration raids last year do that was illegal?

If it was illegal, why were charges either dropped or never filed to begin with for the majority of these cases?

If you are open to understanding why people are so upset, do your mind the favor of reading this high quality reporting on the treatment of US Citizens by ICE

I'm sure there will be mistakes made. But it's for the collective good of the country.

Perhaps, if there is good faith effort to minimize that impact on citizens and legal immigrants.

Please, please take the time to read that article. Share if you think the administration is making those good faith efforts based on your read.

Two reactions:

1. ProPublica is a multi-Pulitzer investigative reporting group led by former WSJ managing editor Paul Steiger. He is not a socialist, nor is WSJ, nor ProPublica.

2. In the article you will find verifiable claims, records, and quotes which can be easily distinguished from opinions by any discerning reader


It could be you.

If they were only arresting people not in the country illegally and doing it with constitutionally guaranteed due process then you may have a point. But they aren't. They are arresting, injuring, killing people who are exercising their constitutional rights. ICE has no shred of credibility left. They are not making things safer.

I personally know people in Minneapolis (where I live) who's constitutional rights have been trampled on by ICE. ICE is the enemy, all who support them have blood on their hands.
