You can't plausibly be arrested by ICE if you're in the US legally, in theory, but look where we are.

I'm afraid that a paranoid, worst-case, bad faith assumption isn't something we can handwave away anymore.

Is that really how you think conversations work?

The fact is that I don't have a stake in analyses about whether the administration is operating in good faith. I'm an opponent of the administration. I'm already sold on that point.

My problem is with the Ken Klippensteins who are engagement farming with posts that misinform people about how the law works.

If you're already winding up with a reply about how the law doesn't matter anymore, ask yourself "why are we talking about this then?" If it doesn't matter, they don't need to announce anything, and their announcement has no content.

As it stands: the announcement really doesn't have any content anyways; they generate this stuff specifically to rile people like you up, and Klippenstein feeds off that energy like a remora.

Unfortunately for you I don't happen to like Ken Klippenstein, he is not a regular part of my information diet, at all, and I regularly criticize him on other sites under my handle linked to my name. and *you* are *relying* on analysis that assumes that the administration is "operating in good faith" in your post that the person above me replied to. That was the point of the "conversation". Whatever weird projective logic trap you're trying to do, predicting my reply, bad news stranger, I think the law and its enforcement is in a very strange and differentiated state across the country and across federal, state, and municipal boundaries. The California ballot seizure case against Sheriff Bianco is a perfect example.

Apparently my logic "trap" here is making claims about Klippenstein that you agree with.
