I'm pretty sure this is America now. Constant push-pull and wedge issues. It is and will continue to be constant. Laws are as political as any other issue. Everything is opinion now. There is no guiding principle anymore. I mentioned on another thread that while I do not know who TPTB are, I'm certain they are masters of manipulation. Master psychological miscreants who seem to just want chaos. To what ends, is the question.

100% agreed, not enough ballz from the Trump admin (yet), opening themselves up for these incidents to happen and subsequent criticism. The law is on their side, preemptively remove, arrest, and prosecute all people willfully impeding ice agents.
