You are acting like ice and trump still care about the rule of law
Once they are deported like in salvador, it is the end of them thry will stay in the torture camps

It’s not about whether trump or ice care about the rule of law, it’s about whether the courts are capable or willing to intercede.
They’re not going to be able to help if you punch an agent in the face, much as he might have deserved it.

The court is already useless
Fortunatly for him the victim was returned at the end but there are ton of peoole who doesn’t have that chance and stuck in torture camps

I’m aware that the situation is bad. I haven’t argued otherwise.
The argument in question is about methodologies, and for now I’m saying a violent resistance would be counterproductive.
I’m not claiming to know a viable alternative. But doing nothing is better than making things worse.

History shows the opposite the inaction is more costly than standing up against authoritarianism. It is going to become worse regardless if not stopped so better try and fail then fail and never try
