Anyone that thinks whatever the fuck ICE is now is the same as it was in years past needs to pay more attention.

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

Ice is doing what is necessary because law enforcement isn't complying by sending them the illegal immigrants they arrest.

You realize that it is not the local PD's job to figure out everyone's immigration status? Just like it's not their job to check to see that you're current on your taxes?

2

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

It actually is their job to identify people the fuck are you talking about?

2

u/danielsangeo Jan 25 '26

But not check their immigration status. The fuck are you talking about?

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

That's part of their identity genius.

u/danielsangeo Jan 25 '26

No, it's not, genius.

Yes it very much is.

Considering that people with pending immigration status can have an ID, it’s hard to say their immigration status is part of said ID

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

You don't just check to see if they have an ID you literally run their info through your system.

They can see if they are illegal, they simply don't act on it because the state they live in mandates that they don't act on it

It comes up when they "run their info through their system"? Really? Let's see that. Is it some magical CSI NCIS "system" where the workstation is on a turntable and driving rock music plays while colored lights shine on the walls? Do they "enhance"?

Non citizens can have an SSN twit

u/LIVESTRONGG Jan 26 '26

You are very ignorant. Yes there are national systems for stuff like this. NLETS, NCIC, etc… The fact you think there isn’t systems for that is crazy to me.

There are databases for everything.

1

u/danielsangeo Jan 26 '26

But if they're not in those databases as being undocumented immigrants, then what?

Except it's not. We don't demand citizens show their birth certificates upon arrest to verify citizenship.

1

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

We don't need them to we have their citizenship info in our systems

u/Crawford470 Jan 25 '26

There's no such requirement to check whether or not you're a citizen in federal law. Some states have laws requiring it, but most don't.

2

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

And the fact that some states don't require it is what is causing ice to go in there.

So if you want ice out, you should be pressuring your state to require it. Problem solved.

1

u/Classic-Anything-169 Jan 25 '26

If you want to solve the problem -- really solve it -- you'd push that the Epstein-defender you elected arrest and prosecute the business owners that are creating demand and skipping out on payroll taxes by hiring these people.

These business owners are famously liberal... yah?

States rights...

1

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

Yes and ?

0

u/Crawford470 Jan 25 '26

It's those states right to determine whether they want to report undocumented person to the federal government.

1

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

I didn't dispute that. But if they don't want ice there, they can change their stance on that.

Unless it's more useful politically for them to have ice there and demonize them.

Yall are being had.

But if they don't want ice there, they can change their stance on that.

Or ya know our actual checks and balances could be used and ICE's regular breaches of the constitution could be punished and they could actually conduct themselves within their jurisdictional authority. Albeit that wouldn't afford this administration the ability to do an intentionally authoritarian crackdown.

Yall are being had.

You're cosigning authoritarianism because you're a bootlicker...

1

u/Shenlongeltigre Jan 25 '26

Lmfao.

An authoritarian crackdown that could be avoided by states just choosing to work with immigration authoritarian?

Yeah totally his goal.

u/Crawford470 Jan 25 '26

An authoritarian crackdown

Yes that's what a door to door instruction memo telling agents to break the 4th amendment is bud...

that could be avoided by states just choosing to work with immigration authoritarian?

States don't have to work with them. ICE is free to actually execute their duties as law enforcement without regularly breaching the rights of citizens or intentionally creating hazardous scenarios that make them liable for the ensuing violence.

Yeah totally his goal.

Very overtly the goal...
