their family can defend themselves just as much as any civilian can. they shouldn't be getting special treatment just because they are the government.What happens if an ICE agent(s) become the target of violence when unhinged people find out where they live, who their family is, etc? Are you saying that’s just too bad, it’s just their cost of being employed by ICE? Then that ends up being the cost of doing business for all of law enforcement. I agree the policy on these ICE raids should be changed. I don’t agree the individual ICE agents don’t deserve some level of personal protection.
Part of ICE's expanded budget was to use private contractors to help with the arrests/detainments. so it may not even be the government you are trusting.How am I trusting the government? If you have evidence they are deporting legal immigrates then prove it.
And you are trusting that the radical left won't take revenge on them and/or their families. I think we've witnessed what they're capable of. Again, show me where they're deporting people that have legal status.Part of ICE's expanded budget was to use private contractors to help with the arrests/detainments. so it may not even be the government you are trusting.
you are trusting they are what they say they are. you are trusting they are only doing what they say they are doing. you are trusting that they will never be held accountable for any of their acts, now or in the future. you are trusting that the next government won't use that same ability against you. you are trusting the government actually has your or the country's best interest at heart.
You’re assuming their family will see it coming and have time to prepare. I understand where you’re coming from and it’s a conundrum both ways. A change in policy wrt who is being picked off unfairly is where we should start, imo. Have been adamantly against how it’s been executed.their family can defend themselves just as much as any civilian can. they shouldn't be getting special treatment just because they are the government.
I always ask and people always duck it. What happens when your political enemies come in power and have masked "agents" doing whatever the heck they want? are you going to be ok with it then?
thats never been my claim.And you are trusting that the radical left won't take revenge on them and/or their families. I think we've witnessed what they're capable of. Again, show me where they're deporting people that have legal status.
the government escalated the matter with ICE. so in my book its up to them to diffuse the situation.You’re assuming their family will see it coming and have time to prepare.

Agree. Policy change is needed with how raids are conducted and protections for people with legal status and up to date documentation getting caught up in these raids. That would greatly diffuse the situation.the government escalated the matter with ICE. so in my book its up to them to diffuse the situation.
the cartel or thugs fall way down my list of worries, government sits near the top.
What are the ice agents doing? They are enforcing immigration laws. The fact they have to wear a mask to protect their identity says more about the public than it does them. What the hell difference does it make whether I'm arrested by someone with a mask or not? They have badges and identification on their uniforms.thats never been my claim.
the radical left will use them when its their turn. Imagine another Covid. imagine when you get labeled as the domestic terrorist because you disagree with whatever loony toons they come up with.

His ideology was founded in Biblical principles. If you think they are flawed, then I will pray for God to open your heart.
I can't agree there. Ice works against the interests of a multinational system of smugglers and traffickers and other aspects of organized crime. Their work often makes them targets of cartels and gangs foreign and domestic. That means they and their families are subject to retribution unless their identities are concealed within reason.Newsom's on the right side of that. There's no good reason for ICE to hide behind masks.
So you think somebody can't derive flawed ideas from Biblical principles?
The principles aren't the problem. There are only two great commandments. Kirk only espoused one of them and openly defied the other. It wasn't a weakness or a mere imperfection. His political philosophy was diametrically opposed to the 2nd great commandment.
Why shouldn't they if their work puts them at elevated or extreme risk?their family can defend themselves just as much as any civilian can. they shouldn't be getting special treatment just because they are the government.
