Bonefish, I still remember guys like you claiming that Trump would never go after legal, documented immigrants. Yet here we are. International students, and even students who've been here since childhood and are holding green cards, are being targeted by the Trump regime for not having the "correct" political viewpoints: Fearing Trump’s Visa Crackdown, College Students Race to Scrub Op-Eds (WSJ) Can't even publish an op-ed anymore without fear of deportation. LEGAL residents, with LEGAL student visas, now being forced into silence because Trump wants to send them to a Salvadorian gulag. Tell me, Bonefish. How is this supposed to be normal in a representative democracy or a constitutional republic? How are we ANY different from RuZZia, China, or North Korea in this aspect? Tenchusatsu

Here's another example of the police state we now live in, Bonefish ... ICE agents arrest Virginia man in a courthouse raid, immediately after judge dismissed his case. During the enforcement the alleged officers showed no badge, no identification, no warrant, no marked federal vehicle, one with face completely covered. (Reddit Video) ICE detains 2 men in Charlottesville courthouse raid (The Daily Progress) Imagine that. You're an immigrant who's accused of a crime. You show up to the courthouse like you're expected to in a society bound by laws. The judge dismisses your case. Immediately after that, the ICE thugs show up in plain clothes without a warrant, identify themselves as "officers from Homeland Security," and kidnap you. Given what Trump has already done, you're likely going to be flown to Louisiana in a detention facility, then swiftly put onto a plane bound for El Salvador. No trial, no due process, no nothing, just Trump doing Trump things. How is THAT supposed to encourage lawful behavior among residents here? "But but if you didn't commit any crimes you have nothing to worry about!" Tell that to the guy whose case was dismissed and therefore should be considered innocent of any wrongdoing. Next time that guy won't make the "mistake" of showing up to court. Nor will any other immigrants. Tenchusatsu
