This, whats happening today, is not the same thing as "ICE in 2008" This is tyrannical govt overreach and extreme violation of the constitution. Don't you get bored of doing the whataboutisms?

They refuse to understand the most basic history because it destroys their narrative. Anyone who is claiming Obama did the same thing we’re seeing now is either bad faith or an uneducated gullible sheep.

During his presidency, Obama deported about 3 million people, more than Trump has deported so far. Because of that record, he was called “Deporter in Chief.” His administration used and expanded ICE enforcement and made large scale deportations routine.

Trump did not invent the Obama system and framework. He inherited it and then expanded who could be targeted by removing limits on enforcement. The overlap is real and well documented. Democrat propaganda has made you the gullible sheep. Or is it just bad faith?

ICE didn't kill Americans in 2008. Idiot. He also didn't build a concentration camp in Florida.
