The population of countries are not single minded monoliths.

The people fighting ICE now are largely the same people who have also been opposed to the US military doing the bad things they did.

Even or particularly, among members of the military and veterans, you have hardcore loyalists of course, but you also have plenty of people who join the military because it’s their ticket to a little money and an education. They know it’s bad, do it anyway, and while they do have a respect for their comrades, they also know fully well that what they did was wrong and that the military is treating veterans pretty badly.

So, there are people in the US, who ignored reality for a good while, and if and when they get hurt, I feel no sympathy.

But there are also plenty who have been opposing or trying to improve and refrom the negative aspects of US society and culture their entire life, and when they get hurt, I do feel sympathy.

Some are still ignoring it. Prominently, former president Obama still behaves as if he’s safe. Of course, I wish no harm on anyone. I do wonder if his approach is too hands off though and if it turns out it is, the best I will be able to say is “told you so”.
