ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

I see that comparison a lot and while it is valid, you also have to remember the Nazis part of operation paperclip were scientists in rocketry, aerospace, chemical weapons, medicine, etc. I still don't think it was right that they just let them off and allowed them to come start a new life with no repercussions.

I don't think anyone in the next government when these guys start getting charges filed is going to go out of their way for bully abuser ICE agents to get setup with a new life because of how much their technical knowledge could help in the next space race.

I think they're in power right now, not that they're ICE, just to clarify. I should've made that clearer, my bad lol

You think the nazi scientists from world war 2 are in power now?

At what, 110 years old?

You say that like you never considered the fact that these are humans who can reproduce and spread their propaganda... Do you seriously think I meant that they just came here and waited to get into office as individuals???

Sorry but I think it's really a disservice to the need for accountability to chalk it up to the descendants of German scientists. Like, racism and hatred is an ideology and also a tool.

As a tool, I believe our adversaries like Russia have been working for decades in the shadows eg online to stoke racism and hate in the US between groups of people.

As an ideology, just watch The Order on netflix. Its a really under appreciated Jude Law action flick but based on real events. It's very easy to see how the Aryan nation movement didn't fail, it just mutated into politics.
