In the broadest sense, this is news, but there's too much opinion in this to throw it there.

Do you still want to cling to this pretense, Trump supporters? Do you still want to pretend ICE efforts are targeting “the worst of the worst?” Are you just going to sit there and mumble some incomprehensible stuff about “respecting the laws?”

Go ahead. Do it, you cowards. This is exactly what you voted for, even if it now makes you a bit queasy. Just sit there and soak in it. You are who you support, even if you never thought it would go this far.

“Worst of the worst,” Trump’s parrot repeat on blast. “This one time we caught a guy who did actual crimes,” say spokespeople defending whatever the latest hideous violation of the social contract (if not actual constitutional rights) a federal agent has performed. “Targeted investigation/stop” say the enablers, even when it’s just officers turning white nationalism into Official Government Policy. “Brown people need to be gone” is the end game. Full stop.

My Trumper family have stopped with pretenses at this point. They'll usually just smile smugly and ignore any questions if confronted. Republicans want this unapologetically, they just don't want to be on the record saying it, in case it doesn't finish the way they want.

@Powderhorn

It seems like restaurants should put sedatives into the food they serve these people and claim self-defense
