There is a lot of room between unfettered immigration and having a roving band of apparently unaccountable agents violating 1st, 4th, and 6th amendment rights while also gunning down unarmed citizens in the streets.

We could try mandating e-verify with increasing penalties before we start asking people for papers and kicking down doors.

This feels like an argument that the feds have no choice but to trample on our rights because we’re not agreeing to it up front. There was a memo that they didn’t need a warrant to enter peoples houses. That is morally wrong and also a recipe for violence. Why should local leaders trust the feds at all when they claim that Alex Pretti was an “assassin” and “domestic terrorist”?

There is a reason ICE wasn't shooting unarmed civilians prior to operation metro surge, which only started in December, 2025. Standard ICE operations are targeted and generally quite. Operation Metro Storm is neither.

These are intentionally provocative and involve agents performing traffic stops and harassing people on the street for no other reason than (it increasingly appears) the color of their skin.

Lets see them deploy 3000 agents to West Texas or Hialeah for a few weeks. I am guessing those local populations might have a few problems with it as well.

> discouraging local law enforcement support of federal law enforcement.

Strawman. You can't blame ICE's failure to sustain due process on local law enforcement, even if you think they're against you. Their hands are clean because they avoided cooperating with ICE.
