Let's see - Authorized law enforcement acting in their constitutional authority are arresting murderers, baby rapist - thugs and illegal Aliens -
You write this as if they are arresting people *because* the are murders and rapists. The data does not support this. Who are these "violent criminals" being arrested by ICE? People who have served their time or those awaiting trial. They aren't hunting down fugitives from justice or solving unsolved crimes. They are arresting people without valid immigration papers and some of them happen to be ex-cons and persons with pending charges. In one case justice has been served as to their crimes in the other they are *interrupting* the application of justice by deporting people (or preparing to) without being convicted for the crimes they have committed.
Short version: ICE is arresting people for deportation because they don't have legal status, not because they are investigating crimes or serving justice. (This *is* what ICE is for, enforcing immigration law. Let's not pretend they are cleaning the streets of violent criminals like local cops would.)
It's not just the "left", not even close, particularly in the twin cities. The opposition is widespread in political ideologies. Basically everyone except the "deport them all" crowd is participating at some level.
passes out whistles - follows them around honking their horns
Blowing whistles, following ICE, honking horns, and videoing their operations are all protected First Amendment activities.
and attempting to blockade the law enforcement officers
It is only a crime if they physically impede passage.
- shoots fireworks at them - attempts to hit them with vehicles -
I've heard a couple reports of these, but that is all.
verbally assaults people during a worship service -
Now your talking about one incident that didn't even involve ICE. The people who broke in likely committed some misdemeanors (trespass or whatever), but that can be discussed on the active thread on that incident.
One further note, though: "verbal asssault" is not "assualt" and not a crime. Not in the church and not when shouted from 10 feet away at ICE troopers.
and some think they are the problem?
Unbelievable.
I do.
FWIW I'm not white and I think they are nutz
I don't care. You've had enough fun playing with the others on this line. I'm not interested.
