The disturbing part isn’t that bad encounters happen — it’s that these techniques are officially banned, yet keep showing up across unrelated cases. When policy and on-the-ground behavior diverge this consistently, it stops looking like individual misconduct and starts looking like a systems problem.

In Minneapolis there are videos of ICE blocking off residential neighborhoods and going door, demanding ID of residents.

These aren’t bad apples, ICE operates without regard to the law by design.

In the Netherlands we call that a razzia. Very popular in the early 40s.

The purpose of a system is what it does. ICE is government-sponsored terrorism.

Incorrupt governments follow their own laws.

Oh, there's a systems problem for sure. I thought it's obvious to everyone.

It's not banned if ICE agents aren't prosecuted when they commit crimes

On one hand I'd say you have a reason to panic but on the other it's no secret that in the US might makes right so it's not like the overall situation has changed dramatically.

Laws don't matter in the US any more. Epstein files aren't being released even though there is law that requires. TikTok is still operating in the US even though there is law that bans it. Laws are only recommendations now.

Oh, there are certainly still laws that "matter".

I assure you if you treat an ice agent the way that they treat folks, you will see the application of quite a few laws.
