Also, if ICE was only going after the "real" criminals, what the fuck do we need ICE for? We've already got a stupidly-overfunded law enforcement and prison apparatus.

The fact that we need a separate agency to go after immigrants pretty much admits that the intent is to go after non-criminals.

Ah, but you forget that in the mind of a Trump supporter ALL immigrants are criminals, and criminals must be punished!

The intent is to be trumps secret police, big surprise hiring a bunch of proud boys.

Does a presidential pardon clear you for a background check? Not that it really matters.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol, you think the gestapo is running background checks on the terrorists they're hiring?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s what I meant by not that it really matters. I’m just curious

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

If checks and balances were actually adhered to, I'd think that would come up on a background check and, while not immediately dusqualifying, probably is a large red flag.

ah it just dawned on me that the BBB is just a grift for the kkk

I think it’s being forgotten that the people championing this think that just being here while brown is criminal.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Yep.

MAGA is a racist movement.

That's not debatable.

[–] Pistcow@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

One could hope.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't want to target actual criminals that have reasons and means to fight back.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The first time ICE comes up against actual gangbangers they're going to find out how much they don't want to keep being members of ICE.

Of course it's anyone and everyone and the news is t reporting it.
