    Has anyone, who still believes in democracy, ever questioned the purpose of the full face masks? It seemed pretty clear from the beginning, that masks were there to allow for their abuses to escalate unchecked?

    Thanks Mr. Obvious, I guess I never made the connection.

    law enforcement officers who don’t work at ICE or Border Patrol have a death rate 6.3 times higher than that of immigration enforcement officers.” In fact, the report found, immigration agents are at no greater risk than regular people: “The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.

    Seems like immigrants are less dangerous then citizens

    The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,” Graff writes.” Statistically speaking, “worst of the worst” seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up

    And less dangerous than CBP it seems

    It’s obvious that ICE/CBP aren’t about crime, they exist to enforce white nationalism

      These fucks are less likely to die than any random person and they still want carte blanche to execute anyone who looks at them wrong? They can rot in hell.

      Even if they were following the law and had no agenda or ulterior motives they wouldn’t be about crime. And that’s part of the problem. They avoid constitutional limitations associated with all other forms of law enforcement by having only administrative authority and dealing with civil law.

      It’s like giving postal workers body armor and assault rifles and letting them abduct anyone that they suspect might have used improper postage or that had thrown away junk mail addressed to someone else while claiming everyone they attack had been terrorists sending letter bombs.

      It seems pretty obvious considering undocumented folk are extremely unlikely to have firearms, you know with them not having documentation to obtain one legally.

    Those poor ice agents are clearly risking their lives by wearing face masks and coverings. How can they possibly breathe? /s

      Putting that uniform on should come with the same mortal liability that the Nazi uniform did.

      That your comment is sarcastic is an utter failure from the rest of us.
