I must say I find it a bit funny that your posts are against free speech and for snatching people by brute force "because it is law", while your signatures below your posts are all about freedom :sorry:

I forgot this site had sig files and that I started browsing 'logged in' just so I could stop seeing them. :) (The "notifications were "useful" as well, ...)

It's not a joke. Democrat leaders have too often crossed the line. We have had Supreme Court justices threatened and Joe Biden as a president refusing to enforce the law for protecting Supreme Court justices and their families. Hopefully Trump can turn things around.

Biden signs bill to protect Supreme Court justices into law​

Nothing related to this incident. She, like many, do not advocate for the cruelty ICE uses towards undocumented individuals. She simply calls it out.

....and I'm still waiting for examples of the said "rhetoric"

The OP has nothing to offer.

"We certainly call on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric against ICE and border patrol agents... I would encourage AOC and other Democrats to actually meet with the United States Border Patrol. These are honorable Americans who are simply trying to do their job to enforce the law."
She says they are simply doing their job to enforce the law. That may be true or not but it is Congress which has oversight and the responsibility to discover whether the law is being carried out. The Trump administration has limited that oversight. So, there is rhetoric. Unfortunately, that awful business Texas was not enough, so Deportation Theater trolling will continue until there is a bigger tragedy, big enough to invoke the Insurrecttion Act.

We have just rid ourselves of the most authoritarian regime in U.S. history and are trying to recover from the disaster that was created. The COVID lock-downs of our children and Biden regime interference with church services, the attacks against moms speaking up at school boards, against conservative Catholics, have continued into this year by the same coalition with attacks on Jews.
My recollection of the COVID lockdowns were that they mostly occurred before Mister Biden was elected.
(Your zeal in attacking Biden seems to have caused you to make a run-on sentence which I’ll demur in responding to.)

Yes, Homeland Security enforces the laws passed by Congress. What happened was that the Biden administration decided not to enforce some laws, although the president took an oath. Now Democrats are furious that immigration laws are being enforced. As to oversight, Congress does have an oversight responsibility, in my opinion they have done a poor job for decades. However, your claim that this administration "has limited that oversight' is not true. As a matter of fact, Trump recently waived executive privilege for a Congressional investigation:

Just how advanced are these illegal immigrant snipers? No wonder the militarized show of force in be our cities.
Most of the verbal and textual hostility towards law enforcement doing their job, probably isn't being issued by illegal aliens.

Only the segment of America that's progressively (pun intended) decided that law breakers are victims and enforcing the law is wrong.

For example, shoplifters and looters should be allowed to stock up and walk out because they deserve empathy. And law enforcement trying to stop them, and arresting them, displays lack of empathy, racism, xenophobia and is an act of assault, brutality and kidnapping.

To protect their families from death threats and harassment. Americans doing their job being harassed and threatened by other Americans trying to stop them from doing their job.

There are some very nasty people out there.
And yet the police don’t seem to need those masks when dealing with criminals.

Some of us believe recently hired soldier wanna be's should not be body tackling and injuring landscapers who are on task doing their daily work. Or deporting a pastor who has lived here for 30 years. But hey, if that's floats your boat, I feel sorry for you.

No they dont because typically Americans dont do that to their officers. ICE didnt need to do it either.

Thats what makes this different. Things have changed. There is a large contingent of Americans who have decided that enforcing immigration law is wrong. They are going to do whatever they need to do to try and prevent it. Which includes obstructing, blocking, attacking and doxing the agents. And then harass and threaten the agents and their families. All simply because they are enforcing immigration law.

If the citizens started doing that to their local officers you would find they would do the same things. As I said there are some very nasty people out there.

There's a large contigent of Americans, me included, who believe illegal immigrants are to be treated like anyone else who is arrested.

Yes, its been made very clear that there us a contigent of people who do dont believe immigration law should be enforced. Someone has been breaking the law for 30 years should be slowed to continue to do so. Should time really matter? If you are able to get away with something long enough we should let you keep doing it?

I, like many Republican Presidents (Reagan, Bush, etc) believe our laws should be enforced without losing our humanity.

I think our country needs to provide a pathway to citizenship. Ripping fathers and mothers from their families, pastors from their church and others who have contributed to their families, communities and our country should be granted citizenship. They should not be treated as criminals.

Then talk to your congressmen and get the laws changed to your liking. Dont obstruct, attack and harass those and thier fanilies who are following the laws by arresting the illegals.

The illegals are being treated according to the laws. Are mistakes made? Of course. LE across this country make mistakes all the time. They arrest the wrong person, they enter the wrong house etc. It happens. But you dont see Americans blocking the police and attacking the police when they show up. You dont see people threatening them and their families.

If ICE does something wrong then handle it appropriately on a case by case basis just like we do with every other case where LE makes a mistake.
