Hopefully, the liberals will believe that arresting those 2 illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds is the right thing to do.

Two? Good catch but hardly commensurate with the level of force being applied across the country and directed at non violent people with no criminal background. I don’t think catching two bad guys justifies the rest of us living in a police state.

I am not living in a police state. The United States of America is NOT a "police state."

Certain parts of it are looking that way. I don’t expect you to care though. It’s not happening to you so it’s ok.

I disagree very strongly. Certain parts of the USA are NOT looking like a police state at all.

Problem is, detaining and arresting hundreds of people to find two criminals is an extremely inefficient, unjust, and immoral way to look for the tiny percentage of immigrants (whose criminal activity is lower than native born American criminal activity) who are criminals.

Then you aren’t looking.

Hey, if you’re fine with a constant police and military presence breathing down your neck then you can always move to some other, more authoritarian country. I hear Russia is lovely this time of year.

How were illegal aliens dealt with before as compared to now?

Law enforcement didn't arrest them?

They arrested them but didn't restrain them?

They arrested them but weren't armed?

They arrested them but didn't use handcuffs?

The arrested them but it was just one or two unarmed small frail cops involved?

They arrested them, but didn't put them into a vehicle to drive them to a detention facility because that was considered kidnapping?

Do tell.

So illegal aliens who are here illegally which is against the law, shouldn't be detained and arrested, useless they broke the law in some other way using violence?

In general that has been what cities have done. NYC, my hometown, for example. Mayor Bloomberg said most immigrants brought energy, work ethic, and prosperity to NY and that they would only focus on felons. Riding Ubers in NY is a multicultural adventure.
Bloomberh, a businessman with genuine bonafides, sees the advantage. Trump, a politician, exploits racist fears.

Okay then why did Clinton and Obama speak against illegal immigration? Why did Obama say employers who knowingly higher them should be held accountable?

Not with the military sweeping through public parks in armored vehicles. They seemed to get less pushback from the public and better results too.

Yes. It doesn’t have to be a violent crime.

What Obama is talking about is pretty much the same thing as the GOP Sen Lankford bipartisan bill that Trump had the GOP house kill.
There is a difference between advocating for more judges to speed up the immigration process; than waiting for those who are legally going through that process and grabbing them and deporting them because there weren't dubbed a US citizen yet. But hey, when you have daily quotas to make.....

"However, Maryland police allegedly backed out of enforcing an ICE detainer in 2023, allowing him to "endanger American communities…"

...that sounds a bit misleading.

If the suspects were wanted for murder or other serious crimes at that time, the Maryland police would most certainly have arrested them.

...more history for one of the suspects: [Baltimore Sun]

Martinez-Barillas had been charged with attempted first-degree murder in 2012, but court records suggest that he was either acquitted of those charges or they had been dismissed. ICE also said he was charged with possession of a firearm, but Prince George’s County prosecutors dropped those charges in 2024, more than a decade after they had been filed.

A spokesperson for ICE’s deportation operations in Baltimore did not immediately return requests for details on Martinez-Barillas’ history.

Both these presidents spoke about pathways to citizenship, comprehensive immigration, better border security, and arresting those who were involved in criminal activity.

I noticed they never called immigrants "rapists and murderers and drug dealers."
They did not support the amoral, deliberate cruelty that is taking place all over the US today.

A number of progressive cities and areas seem to be helping the criminals.

Abetting refers to the act of encouraging or assisting someone in committing a crime or wrongdoing. In a legal context, it often involves being an accessory to a crime, where the abettor may not physically participate in the crime but provides support or encouragement to the perpetrator. The term is commonly used in conjunction with "aiding," which refers to helping someone carry out a criminal act. In many jurisdictions, both aiding and abetting can lead to criminal liability, even if the abettor is not present at the scene of the crime.
