> The US is currently attacking foreign citizens outside the United States without due process.

This is how Osama Bin Laden justified 9/11. To be clear, virtually all of those being deported do not have a legal right to reside in the United States. The number who are deported erroneously measures in the tens, not the hundreds, but even if it were in the tens of thousands, that would not morally justify the extrajudicial killings of law enforcement personnel unless you could somehow demonstrate that these deportations were part of a concerted effort to murder people.

> Israel has multiple government members currently with warrants for arrest for genocide.

The deportation of foreign nationals residing in the United States illegally is not even remotely comparable to what is happening in Gaza.

You assumed for some reason I was talking about deporting people and not attacking people in boats with hellfire missiles.

"Remotely comparable" or not, I was discussing the disconnect between legal and moral.

No, I understood you clearly as you said “outside the United States.” My point was that American military adventurism still wouldn’t justify terrorism. I then went on to describe how the majority of deportees have plainly violated the law, and that even if some proportion of deportees had their rights violated during the deportation process, it would not justify the extrajudicial killing of law enforcement officers.

What the great grandparent comment was advocating for is battering and / or murdering law enforcement officials on the basis that he doesn’t think foreign nationals should be bound by American immigration law.

You need psychiatric help.
