Many of these people are targetted because of their skin color and appearance. That's just out and out racism. They have detained citizens. They don't identify themselves and actively wear masks so they can't be indentified. They wear vests with "police", but they are not police. They are jackbooted thugs and use unnecessary violence.
I can go on, it's not hard to find.
America used to be the model for progressively dealing with racism. No more.
How do I know? Because a Federal Court case found they had been targetted and it was illegal, and then your Supreme Court said this was quite fine. And no, a huge amount of people are citizens in America who aren't white - why are they getting accused of being non-citzens? Or is ICE only for white people?
Wearing a mask is not a reasonable response. And what violence and threats are you referring to? In Chicago people were dancing and wearing silly suits to protest them.
In terms of what a jackboot is, Google is your friend and you have a non-existent grasp of history if you have no idea what this means. Try also looking up "brown shirts".
So, by your own words, it's not illegal. But, in reality, the SC temporarily issued a stay of an injunction issued by a lower court. That case is still active. Again, I ask, if the majority of illegal immigrants hail from countries in the Americas that are South of the U.S., would we not expect the majority of deportees to also be from those same countries? As far as I know, there are not millions of illegal immigrants in the U.S. who originated from Western Europe. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
> your Supreme Court
Are they not also your supreme court? If not, why are you so concerned about the enforcement of U.S. laws?
> And what violence and threats are you referring to?
Here's a smattering: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]
> Wearing a mask is not a reasonable response
...in your opinion. But, to return to your original claim: is it illegal?
> In terms of what a jackboot is...
I know what a jackboot is. I just wanted to give you an opportunity to explicate your implication. I think most readers are desensitized to the comparison of the enforcement of laws long on the books with Nazism.
It's not my Supreme Court, I'm not an American. It is my concern because you lot have been telling the rest of the world that you are the Freest Country On Earth And Everyone Else Is Inferior for quite some time now. As I say, for a while there many of us kind of thought that might actually be the case, but not any more. And I live in a country that is a staunch ally.
We've been watching your country for some time now tear itself apart, and watch as you all get sicker, weaker and poorer. You all think you live in the Greatest Nation On Earth, but you can't even afford to pay for your own health care.
I'm assuming you've never been pulled aside to prove you are an American by an ICE agent.
I'm watching your country slide into totalitarianism and cruelty. And I'm watching your economy slowly get hollowed out.
Your ICE agents are unaccountable, immoral and racist, and you are going the way of Germany in the the late 1930s. Good luck with that.
