I am confused about the sheer volume of seemingly illegal actions these fascists are getting away with. The amount of US citizens unlawfully detained, the warrantless surveillance and raids, the refusal to identify themselves, and the clear pattern of violence though indiscriminate physical assault.
Where are the class action lawsuits?
Why are no Democratic politicians calling for ICE’s leadership to be investigated, impeached, imprisoned? Even if Democrats are kinda feckless and racist themselves, surely they’re not as stupid as the Republicans and can see the threat that ICE represents to the economy, if nothing else?
I’m just astonished by the absolute dearth of any resistance to these squads of lead-poisoned idiots who don’t follow any rules and are seemingly only motivated by a desire to hurt people.
Moreover… I want to believe in rehabilitative justice, and if we ever want to see former ICE agents get treatment and re-enter society as productive upstanding citizens, it would be best to stop them before they’re too far gone. Not to make it out like they’re the primary victims here, but I do believe what they’re doing is actively harming themselves.
Hell, where are the individual lawsuits?
This may be the most stark [strategic] difference between Democrats and Republicans. Republicans seek out and fund court cases, hoping that at least one of them makes the right argument in front of the right judge. Dunno quite how long it’s been going on for; at least as long as I’ve been alive, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a tradition that stretches back further.
Democrats… don’t. At least as far as I’m aware. It’s a glaring imbalance.
[edit]
there’s a few here and there but the courts are deliberately slow
The courts sure work fast when the republicans need them to, weird that California, New York, or Illinois can’t get that working
