    That’s mostly on the Feds, not local law enforcement. Generally if it’s not a cooperative investigation, the locals can’t collect or process evidence, especially if the Feds tell them it’s a federal case.

    It seems to be something that usually pisses local law enforcement off.

      Except these jackasses subvert the law all the goddamn time when they want to. This “mah hands are tied” stuff is bs.

          Which is EVERY TIME. They’re the law and they’re famous for protecting their own ability to commit crimes by making sure to never attack or arrest other cops.

          Cops literally have the only working unions, only working class solidarity, and routinely use their labour power to subvert democracy and justice! MAKES ME FURIOUS

      Please do show us where widespread push back is happening from law enforcement. They have a voice and plenty of power to intervene but choose not to. Police are complicit because they benefit from ICE money. ACAB is more apparent than ever.

    Local cops “can’t help ICE” until they call them and tell them where to arrest people. Which they do all the fucking time. Burn the whole authoritarian system to the fucking ground.

    Every single person who worked in, or even touched in the course of their work, an ICE Concentration Camp, needs to serve at least 5 years in prison, and that’s for the lowliest, lightest impact job. Those who were significantly involved should spend decades, or even their entire lives, in prison.

    In the future, when some dipshit proposes Concentration Camps for their enemies, everyone around them needs to say “No fucking way am I getting involved in this. The last time ended really badly, we learned all about it in school.”

    This was always going to happen. It happened during his last term, and it’s not unlike Trump & Epstein’s sex trafficking ring—they just added a legal method to do it.

    The question is, will suburban voters continue to pretend they had no idea? It’s impossible to tolerate conservative neighbors and family when it’s apparent they’re all phonies and liars.

      Absolutely, 100%. The average person cares infinitely more about popularity than what’s true.
