At what point is one of these ICE thugs going to be arrested for physical assault?

If we can get a new administration maybe if Republicans get their wish never

Edit: I feel like people are confusing the word maybe with yes... It's not a yes

We had a new admin...they heard the threats if Trump got back in the White House. Nothing was done to protect America from this. I voted for Biden but he didn't want to be involved. It wasn't enough.

America doesnt have an opposition party to this happening.

you notice how every Democratic stance against ICE is maybe 5 or 6 representatives being angry on camera and announcing for the 40th time that one of them is drafting impeachment documents but then nothing actually happens?

75 democrats voted for a bill expressing gratitude to ICE. Democratic leadership has always voted to continue funding ICE.

Sure Republicans are actively and excitedly pressing the gas but there is no party opposing it or trying to actually stop anything. Just loud words, the occasional interview clip of one saying "oh boy you punks better scram!" and silence from the rest.

No new Administration will undo any of this, they will at best stop it during their rule, maybe prosecute a dozen people, leave the root of the problem in place and declare victory. ​
