There is a gigantic difference between police getting a warrant, knocking on a door, and then bringing a person in for polite questioning versus masked goons breaking down doors and deporting without a trial.

Does this mean you will support these raids once Trump has totally cleansed the federal bench of liberals? Also, there's no such thing as "polite questioning" from police

How does that logic follow at all? I'm complaining about Trump's violent Gestapo and you claim that I'll soon support it more?

Respectfully, the police is scary to a whole lot of us, there's no such thing as polite questioning, in the US the police has been terrorizing marginalized people since the very beginning and that hasn't changed, if you have a positive experience with the police that just means you're not the target of the policing.
