Thankfully, those things you mentioned aren't happening. ICE makes arrests, then the judges make the decisions. The arrests wouldn't be made in the first place if there wasn't a warrant (issued by a JUDGE) because of what the illegal alien had done.

ICE disagrees with you.

Changing past guidance, ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrants: 2025 memo

An internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement document in May shows that ICE told officers and agents they can forcibly enter homes of people subject to deportation without warrants signed by judges. The memo, dated May 12, which reads that it is from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was...

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: President Trump Heralds America’s Golden Age in Historic State of the Union Address

Here’s what they’re saying:

New York Post Editorial Board: “President Trump hit it out of the park (again)

CBS News host Tony Dokoupil: “It was an extraordinary speech — the longest to a joint session in history

Fox News host Laura Ingraham: “When future historians want to understand how Trump dominated American politics for 12 years, they should watch and read this speech.”

Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino: “Trump is a colossus”

The Federalist’s Sean Davis: “Home run, from beginning to end. What a fantastic speech.”

Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle: “This speech was Trump at his absolute finest and may have been his best speech yet

National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez: “You saw a President who wants to make it a point to ensure that Americans don’t become the minority in America.”

The Blaze founder Glenn Beck: “Time will tell, but my guess is that in 100 years, it will be George Washington, Father of our country, Lincoln, the savior of the Union and Trump, the REFOUNDING Father of the US. Thank you @realDonaldTrump”

Looks like the majority (liberal and conservatives alike) viewed Trump's speech as a success. I'd love to see how the same people viewed the behavior of the democrats who actually showed up in person for it.

The Constitution was written to protect American citizens, not foreign invaders who are here illegally and have committed serious crimes.

And more than 80% of Americans agree. In fact, they agree that these illegals should be deported.

Of course, the support for trump's Immigration policies is much less, even less than 50%.

It is also fact.

Looking at actually economic numbers 2024 vs 2025, I see them as similar in such areas as
unemployment
rise in employment
inflation
increase in non-government jobs
verbal flubs during sppeches.

Even perception of the handling of the economy is similar
===========
So, I guess we need to also consider Trump be
close to be tied for the worst.

Are you claiming that ICE agents just go door to door looking for people who aren't white, and then arrest or kill them?

I'm sure they skip a few doors.

Republicans will talk about how good it was. Democrats will talk about how bad it was.

Did anyone cross the aisle or think for themselves?

What are the "liberal" sources on that list?

The people that have come out against ICE were doing so long before things became violent around them. It's the "protesters" who have escalated things, and then they play the victim card when it backfires on them. ICE was simply doing their job in Minneapolis just as they were in other cities, but since Minneapolis is rather unique in manufacturing outrage against government agencies that are overseen by the party they don't agree with, they encouraged people to put their lives on the line doing stupid things such as attacking law enforcement officers. That's when ICE had to send in more of their own people; to protect themselves and to foot more of the tasks that would normally be done by cooperating local departments.

Well that certainly excuses all the brutality and two murders....not. (You should visit Minnestota. I guarantee the people there are much kinder than wherever you are.)

You mean Minnesota as a whole? Perhaps. But violence has recently spawned from Minneapolis twice is recent years, and the flames were fanned by the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of MN. Not a good look for such a "kind" place.

I think it is amazing that people showed up and stayed.

I liked the part where the official White House YouTube channel used an AI generated cartoon of the POTUS.

You can go back and read what I said. That's is what's happening.

I looked back and see that you made some hyperbolic claims without evidence.
