HSI arrived at Home Depot only wearing vests. Just how unequipped and defenseless are they supposed to be?

It doesn’t look like they’re fighting their way through violent mobs.

According to all news reports an angry mob formed, so it's pretty silly to pretend that didn't happen.

It's worth it to get rid of the illegals.
Maybe for now but once the illegals are gone, the police state doesn’t go away. They’ll find some new group to go after next to justify their missions and their budgets.
They need to leave.
By all means, deport the illegals. Why do the rest of us law abiding citizens need to be terrorized in the process?

Maybe they should weigh the relative risk of danger to themselves and the general public for arresting a few day laborers or dishwashers and go after the real bad hombres they said they were going to target to better justify their battlefield equipment.

In the USA, law enforcement traditionally doesn't deescalate. That is the job of the civilians.

So the main complaint is over what they're wearing.

The angry mobs are showing up to obstruct law enforcement.
Dogs and water cannon and flash-bangs! Oh my!

If the beginning of the “due process” seems unpleasant, that’s just tough potatoes?
Violating a civil law is still a “crime” and criminals shouldn’t expect not to be rousted by militaristic methods and personnel, because reasons.

Immigration enforcement raiding businesses has been go on for over 50 years. And all the complaints that law enforcement officers are dealing with potential riots by wearing riot gear and using riot equipment is pretty silly in my opinion.

Since when is US law enforcement unarmed? I could see all the uproar making sense if up until now law enforcement only wore t-shirts and were only equipped with their bare hands. But that's never been the case in this universe. Is there a Mandela effect thing going on where people remember US law enforcement never being armed until now? Or a raid not consisting of multiple officers?

Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard in response. There’s protests in New York as well and another occurred a few days ago in Minnesota over the same. I had a feeling we’d have a hot summer and ramped up my shopping to avoid the stores. Pay attention to these reports and compare them to the ones we had before and look for similarities. If they’re rioting over ICE you may see the same in sanctuary cities too. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Here’s a link to the sanctuary cities, counties and states.

since when does it take a dozen officers to take a couple of ilegal imigrants? This is show of force, and terrorism plain and simple, it's to create fear, and people are having none of it, you might be happy with a police state and trump being a tyrant, others aren't, sad you are.

Raids on business have always consisted of multiple armed officers, way before Trump. Even raids on small houses with one or two suspects have consisted of multiple armed officers, way before Trump. And a raid that's being obstructed by a mob certainly consists of multiple armed officers in riot gear equipped with riot equipment, way before Trump. The idea that there's something new about it is preposterous.

The LEOs are all geared up to take down “bad guys” whilst rousting food preparers.
How many AR-15s does it take to arrest a busboy?
