Comment on What are the limits to masked so called ICE agents? Are they just let off the hook and disobey laws while not identifying themselves? Why can't I be in the right by them stopping me first and shoot?

You could be in the right. You could be legally correct. You could even survive. But who is there to enforce the law? Where are the consequences?

ICE is not above the law but when the people charged with upholding the law and investigating abuses are the ones encouraging it, what can you do?

Calling them fascists and authoritarians didn’t come from nowhere

All evidence so far indicates ICE is above the law.

  I think this is one of these long tails for rebuilding. Clearly we can’t count on national leaders to uphold the law. The problem is either the massive buildup of ice or the entire lack of ethics and respect for the law and their fellow humans among the workers.
  
  Perhaps if we establish a strong traditionalism of professionalism, respect for the law, strong ethics, then next time around they won’t be so susceptible to corruption. Probably need a strong union as well, so if there are any good ones, they have support to stand up for what is right.
