Right. My point is that they (or at least, the Democrats) will pass this with the well-intentioned point of extending protections of EMTs or law enforcement who are engaged in legitimate activity like you said, and will instead be used almost exclusively as a way to protect ICE and punish brown people. I want to support a law like this because of the people that it is intended to help, but also fully acknowledge the reality of the world we live in and know how a law like this will most likely end up being (ab)used in the real world. Hence, the conflict.
