Your other points aside, which one does not have to agree with every action of law enforcement to support (immigration) laws and their enforcement...

The question is about whether Jesus/God would consider closed borders and strict immigration laws and their enforcement to be moral.

Can you tell me what immigration laws Jesus/God described for His eternal kingdom?

And for the record, from the Christian perspective, scripture was given for us to conform to, not to conform it to make it more palatable. God revealed Himself for us to conform to, not for us to remake Him into something else, in the hopes that people who would otherwise reject Him will reconsider. He's not here to pass your test. You are perfectly free to go about your business, reject Him, and find out for yourself how He feels about borders and immigration enforcement. (And for the record, I have a feeling that if you dig deeper into the fullness of scripture, you'll find far more about the God of the Bible to offend you. Immigration laws would be a drop in the bucket.)

My genuine desire would be that you reconsider that decision/rejection.

(Edited to add that I don't consider it my or any Christian's duty to either defend or condemn vague, unproven accusations like we see in your post. If you want to post specific, proven ICE agent abuses, I'm sure that most Christians would condemn any law enforcement abusing their positions. But they'd probably also realize that Romans says that God established government as a wielder of the sword to put fear into hearts and deal with lawlessness. So, each accusation would likely need to be a discussion on its own merit and details.)

There's that whole "adherence to authority as a measure of morality" thing again. There are multiple ways to interpret the bible and you're choosing the worst one.

Also, I'm not seeing any upstanding Christians here denouncing the cruelty and brutality ICE is operating with..

Boy, with the god you worship, who needs a devil?

This corrupt democrat POS needs to be in jail now & not later. He's scared of what Trump is going to find out about on his incompetence list on leadership.

National Guard troops in Illinois can remain federalized but can’t be deployed, appeals court rules​


Other states have rallied behind Illinois’ legal battle, as Maryland – along with 19 other states, Washington, DC, and three governors’ offices – filed an amicus brief Saturday evening calling the president’s deployment of the National Guard across the US “unlawful, unconstitutional, and undemocratic.”

“The Trump Administration’s shifting and expanding misuse of the National Guard exemplifies the concentration of power that the Founding Generation feared,” the brief reads.

Well, it's generally illegal to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement. Trump is just trying to cause pain to our "blue" cities and he's rightly getting his ass handed to him by the Courts.

LOL were not talking about the 1st Infantry Division or the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force.

It's the National Guard.

I want to commend the over 50,000 participants and over 1.3 million spectators at the Chicago Marathon yesterday, all of whom braved a "war torn" city.
It's nice to know that over half the Country doesn't buy into the fear-mongering and gaslighting by the right wing echo chamber that are all scared of their own shadows.

An event happening in the middle of the day with over half of the CPD deployed along with help from the FBI to help secure the route?
