Sure, I understand that perspective. Trump’s random comments about the law are that helpful in instilling trust that laws are being followed.

But at the same time, when the prior norms were incredibly lax to the point many immigration laws were ignored, suddenly enforcing what is on the books can look rather jarring.

There is a whole lot of evidence that they have been violating the laws, not just suddenly enforcing them.

This is a video titled “America’s Gulag”. That alone makes me think it’s not going to provide a fact based balanced view of the issue.

But regardless it’s a 30 min video, so is there something you feel is important because I don’t have the time. Maybe an article from a more reputable source?

I mean it starts with “ICE agents breaking car windows”. If you’re asked to exit your vehicle by a federal law officer and you just roll up the window that will happen. The US (and in fact no country) has rules where a law enforcement officer with probable cause is supposed to give up when a suspect refuses to follow orders.

The five minutes I listened to seemed suspect since it’s a women just saying “they do this” with no sources. Am I just supposed to take her at her word?

What proof would you accept?

Do you want evidence of ICE ignoring legal others? Citizens who were arrested for no reason? An ICE officer admitting they target people based on how they look and not on any actual legal criteria?

Or do you just want to look away and not see?

Facts would be nice. Courts ruling that rights were violated.

A YouTube video where someone summarizes what they think is happening is not facts.

But like I said point me to a specific time in that 30 min video you think supports your claim.

You did watch the whole thing, right?

		Your first example is a mom being deported. Her US citizen children went with her. That’s incredibly disingenuous claim that “US citizens were deported”. ICE has already stated that US citizen child can remain with family in the US or go with their parents. I’m guessing your other links of are similar quality.
