ICE told to get the eff out

Perhaps highwayman will tell us ICE agents are decent chaps and wouldn't do such things, like he tries when denying atrocities by Israelis.
 
I have mixed feelings about this ICE stuff in the States. Yes it can be argued that it's good to see a country getting tough on illegal immigrants, however I wonder if what we're seeing is almost going from one extreme to the other.

Trump was keen to reiterate during his Davos speech that ICE is almost exclusively going after hardened criminals and wrong 'uns in general. According to Trump, ICE isn't going after people they know are living their illegally but are living decent ordinary lives e.g. working in the service industry and the like. MMmmm, I'm not convinced some of the stories we're seeing back that up.

When it comes to the UK, as we've discussed on here many times, yes we need much tougher immigration controls, legal, illegal, small boats, the whole lot. And we need more effective removal processes. However, would I want to see groups of armed men with their faces covered combing various areas in various towns and cities? No.
Trump is obviously lying or completely naive to what ICE is doing. I suggest the former.
 
The US rarely take a soft approach to law enforcement. Tough prison sentences, high percentage of the population locked up, lots of people shot and killed each year, many unarmed. Miscarriages of justice, locked up without trial.

Been this way for a long time. Nothing special about trumps approach.

There will always be the bad apple in the cart. You cannot tar them all with the same brush, they are doing a tough job that is hard enough without people picking on them for everything they do wrong. Mistakes will be made, that is just human nature John.
 
I forget which of the EU politicians said it, Trump is childish. He is.
He seems to be getting worse. More TACO than meat.

EU politicians tend not to be that memorable.

Not for the lack of opportunity, they could unite against Russia militarily, they could stop buying Russian Gas and bring Russia to it's knees, they could do something about illegal immigration that's crushing their very fabric.

They sit meekly waiting for Trump to tell them what to do next, as they did at Davos.

For the UK (and Europe), it really is becoming quite embarrassing. As a country, we should grow a pair or STFU.

No sniper shoots a toddler twice by accident.

Criminals pardoned because Trump likes them.

Sex offenders moved from a secure jail to a luxury country club because they have dirt on Trump.

Civil servants prosecuted because they do their jobs, and not Trump's bidding.

No, that is NOT business as usual.

Hunter Biden still a free man despite the evidence on his laptop?
 
I’m fairly sure no ICE officers are shooting kids in the head double tap style.
