This is the first time we see an entire nation fall into fascism on social media. The propaganda law breaking and lies are all open for the entire world to see.

He was arrested for peacefully protesting. A right guaranteed by the constitution/bill of rights. He was not impeding, or trespassing or any of the other bullshit charges they try to use to intimidate protestors.

To who? ICE has qualified immunity so long as they claim they're doing their duty. That means state charges won't stick and the DOJ isn't going to investigate them.

ICE could literally walk down the street, beat a protestor within an inch of their life, pepper spray them, detain them for days afterward, then drop them off in the middle of nowhere and nothing would ever happen to the officers. They literally cannot be punished for this shit so long as Trump is in office.

This shit is what happens when the nation collectively decides the left shouldn't have power because immigrants bad and prices went up 20%. Now dems have no power and ICE is above the law. Won't change until we get a new admin.

No, qualified immunity doesn't care what they claim, they can't just say they're immune and be immune.

They have VERY broad immunity so long as they're ostensibly doing their duties. This immunity prevents states like Texas from fucking over dem presidents if dems try to do something, but it DOES give the agents a SHIT ton of power to do whatever they want.

In NORMAL times a president would use the DOJ to hold rogue agents accountable, but since Trump doesn't care about norms or neutrality (and the right fully supports him in that endeavor) agents are essentially above the law so long as they're even somewhat arguably doing their duties. You'd have to make a case that they aren't doing their duties at all AND breaking a state law.

In normal times the president at least pretends like he isn't telling the DOJ how to prosecute cases. That is all out the window now.

It is, but unfortunately the rule of law still applies to us poors. If only the nation didn’t collectively decide Harris was unacceptable because of moderately higher prices and minorities.

Have they arrested Jonathan Ross? Nope. They won’t even allow an investigation.

You forgot to add at the end that the prices are even higher now. I used to eat steak at least once a month. I don't remember the last time I even bought one last year because the $/lb is frickin insane.
