Wow! Hard Right "friend" in Chicago liking an anti-ICE message. [View all]

This is an old friend whose husband is a hard-right MAGAT who believes in every conspiracy theory and of course, blocked me on Facebook. I’m hoping that these Republicans in Chicago and Illinois are getting pissed off. This is the message she liked:

If you see what’s going on in the country right now, specifically Chicago and Portland, and you don’t recognize how the actions of ICE are unconstitutional, you’re so far removed from reality.

Saying “ICE is only targeting violent criminals” is bullshit when their raids are on schools, churches, hospitals, workplaces, and apartment buildings where children and women are dragged from their beds in the dead of night and their apartments ransacked.

If an officer seizes you without probable cause, uses excessive force, arrests a U.S. citizen as if they were a non‑citizen, or violates free‑speech or due‑process rights, those are constitutional violations.

“What is the probable cause for my arrest” is not enough to keep you from being arrested.

“I do not concent to a search” is not enough to keep you from being arrested.

“I’M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN” IS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING ARRESTED!

I love my country, and I’m heartbroken because I do not recognize my country. These actions are despicable, and anyone who supports this shit should be ashamed of themselves. You are on the wrong side of history.
