A few thousand citizens turn criminals are rioting in the streets to keep murderers, rapists, drug runners, sex traffickers etc from being deported. Why? What is wrong with these people?
Nothing. They're not trying to keep murderers, rapists, drug runners, and sex traffickers from being deported.
They're protesting in order to make ICE differentiate between those people and the otherwise law-abiding people who do not deserve to be put through the harshest levels of immigration enforcement the way the actual violent criminals do.
It's the same reason why we have protections in criminal law. We don't insist on a trial by jury because we want murderers to go free. We insist on it because we want to make sure that the process is just, and that the people who deserve the harshest sanction of the law are treated differently from the people who do not deserve those harsh sanctions.
Can you really not see that?
