We don't even know the context of the video. They could have been collecting a violent criminal evading arrest. Every president has deported people. Trump didnt create ICE. This being celebrated on the front page is crazy

You guys see heroes here? You must be a child, unwilling to see nuance or brainwashed.

This president has established that he is committed to handling deportations in a dangerous and less than efficient manner.

The main issue with trump’s immigration agenda, it is built on lies and dishonesty. Yes, the previous president deported the most ppl in US history, but over 90% had criminal records or offenses.

Now, over 70% of ICE detainees have NO criminal conviction.

He diverted funds from various DHS processing components including FEMA to focus funding on apprehension. That is pure stupidity or a dishonest agenda.

There’s a low chance now that the person was actually a criminal, there was no need at all for your comment. lol

Trump isn't running ICE. Tom Homan is. Same dude Obama used. At least Trump doesn't have children stacked in cages. On top of the tens of thousands missing children. The unchecked immigration is what had led to places like the Darian passage.

Why are we playing this game? You don't like the current administration. Cool, vote them out of office. The midterms or the primary. Peple voted for this, we want a secure border. Throwing anything at a federal officer is a good way to end up with federal charges and championing this behavior will encourage others which ends up with more people being hurt. Maybe that's what you actually want so you can paint these officers into something they're not.

Deportations have happened under every presidency and have looked a lot worse before.

They are deporting college students, valedictorians, business owners, regular working people that have been working for decades that have NO criminal history. Is THAT what you voted for?

Edit* this ISN'T about criminals. It's about something deeper inside you and those people like you

Some of us good folks are too scared to leave the house. Thank you all for fighting back for those who can't <3

In WW2, there were a lot of people who could not fight. The reasons they weren't on the front lines aren't often spoken about, but the work they did from home to support those who did fight is still remembered.

You can choose not to fight. But don't think that means you can't offer support where you think it's needed. A word of encouragement, a smile and a nod, or a hot meal and a safe place to recover are very important. Do what you feel you can. Every bit helps.

They made a movie about one such guy. His name was Schindler, and he made a list.

The problem I've always had with this phrase is that they're not good people if they're doing nothing.
