This is not a political calculus. Nobody with half a brain believes that Trump's choices are about efficiently deporting people here illegally; they are designed to intimidate and punish his opponents while making the US more authoritarian.

The government cannot send out masked, untrained goon squads to bust down doors without warrants or probable cause. They are forbidden from doing that by the Constitution.

The "inevitable tragedies" are from free people exercising their rights in the face of an administration which obviously has nothing but contempt for them.

Just empty words. The chaos could easily be avoided and lives saved if the Dems actually cared, but they don't.

Nah just absolute commonsense.

Renee Good dropped her kids off in childcare so she could go and obstruct armed law enforcement officers in the course of their work using her car as a weapon.

If a close member of your family told you they were intending to do this, would you discourage them from taking this action? If you cared about them, of course you would discourage this. And if you are honest you would admit this.

The Democrat party is encouraging people to do this.

I get it - you love Republicans and hate Democrats. I hate them all. Can you just connect a few more neurons in your brain and rise above it for a little bit and consider the costs? We're losing our rights and seeing a test of them live on video. Assuming we have elections again this can be used by both. Wake up dude.

"I get it - you love Republicans and hate Democrats..."

I don't think you are remotely close to "getting it". My point was accurate and valid. You replied with a vague deflection followed by abuse. Not worth engaging.

Incidentally here's a video of the "poor, innocent nurse" Alex Pretti interacting with law enforcement a week before his fatal altercation where he turned up with a weapon

Of course he doesnt deserve to die as a result but in a highly, volatile environment he sure is acting pretty stupidly.

Honestly I haven’t seen that video before now but are you kidding me? First of all cars don’t break like that from a kick. Second of all where’d the ford logo on the car go? Clearly AI. Classic AI video tells, it’s not even subtle.

Sad for you that you fell for it but not expected. If you don’t see murder in the original cell phone videos, you’ll rationalize this any way you can.

That's not what I said, I said I've witnessed AI cars explode like that, but I've never seen a real car explode like that. Ask yourself the simple question: where is that car? If that happened, let's see the actual car up close. Let's actually get a shot of that damage that occurred. We'll never see that because that car is not damaged in that way, because this thing is false.

> where everything you don't like is AI

This is projection. You're doing the same thing in reverse -- treating AI output with credulity because you want to believe it.

The chaos is unavoidable because Trump is a moron. If freedom is an empty phrase to you, it would really explain a lot.

Citing an AI tweet hardly screams accurate. They're killing American citizens with immunity. Enjoy the taste of boot leather in your mouth dude.

Whats your feeling about the people that are killed by illegals who shouldn't even be in the country? Seems like you are arguing for their immunity yes?
Re:In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration... by cwillu on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @07:22PM (#46803852)
According to your own numbers, Clinton and Obama managed to to deport 15 million people, and somehow they managed to do it without executing any citizens in the street.
Re:In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration... by lazyeye on Saturday January 31, 2026 @07:02PM (#46842191)
I dont think you read the original grandparent comment. There absolutely reasons why the chaos is happening now and not under Clinton or Obama.

No one is killing American citizens with immunity - except ICE. The man who killed Laken Riley is in Prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Laken_Riley. Where are the masked agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti?
Re:In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration... by SR2Z on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @07:19PM (#46803821)
Who the hell is arguing for their immunity? If anyone commits a murder, they should be put in jail.

Everyone within the borders of the United States has rights, even if they're here illegally. That's what it means to be a free country.

Re:In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration... by arxari on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @07:17PM (#46803790)
Have you considered that you Americans are so radicalized on either side you mindlessly either defend ICE or go against ICE which is what is causing this issue?

Calling ICE "gestapo" and Trump "Hitler" and are genuinely crazy things, gestapo can be pretty accurately described by 1984 as the thought police, ICE, while being an organ of a state is far from that. You may think they have immunity but federal courts seem quite fast at picking up the cases regarding the happenings in the article which I can assure you would not happen if ICE truly had immunity. And if ICE really was the gestapo, all the people at the protests and arrests would be killed indiscriminately; in the articles you see actions taking place before the shootings that can be seen as an attack on federal officers... If ICE was the gestapo just existing and showing you're against ICE would get you gunned down or arrested, it would get all the people at those protests gunned down or arrested.

There are untrained MASKED federal agents killing American citizens. They pistol whipped Alex Pretti before shooting him. This is not normal. I think its appropo.
Re:In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration... by bediger4000 on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @08:12PM (#46804354)
Hard disagree about ICE as Gestapo. ICE is Trump's secret police, loyal to him, accountable to him.

I suppose Gestapo did have more menacing uniforms.

Re:In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration... by deeg on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @10:22PM (#46805383)
The gestapo didn't wear masks, so there's that difference.

I'm not sure what you mean. The Gastapo was an organ of the state. Geheime Staatspolize means "Secret State Police."
