Everyone has a different definition of which laws are “relevant”.
> ICE and Border Patrol are following the law by the book
Are they? I was under the impression that most of the outrage was around officers circumventing Constitutional checks and abusing their power.
This doesn't pass the smell test. You actually believe that over the history of the United States that legislatures had a 99% success rate at passing good legislation?
This United States has a history of civil disobedience for a reason and it's part of what makes the country great. The law isn't something to be venerated, it should be treated with respect up to a point and that point ends when the law ceases to be relevant.
Case in point look at how people from the migrant caravans are being treated, ICE and Border Patrol are following the law by the book, can you tell me that law is good?
