That's inevitably what happens when you want to end "illegal" immigration: You turn your country into a Police State where Authoritarianism trumps out Democracy and Civil Rights.
"Davis, the government says, has attended and facilitated meetings about protests and discussed his “anti-authoritarian” ideology with other activists. He is not accused of violent acts, taking any specific actions at protests nor having any encounters with ICE agents.
He is facing six years in prison.
“It’s petty revenge,” Davis said. “They’re trying to portray being part of a community as an illegal conspiratorial act.”
Davis, and other defendants interviewed by the Guardian, are confident that the case against them will collapse. But the government is trying to send a signal, he said: “This isn’t just about us. It’s about trying to scare everybody who opposes ICE.”
Davis is a Buddhist studies scholar at Macalester College in St Paul and has long been part of labor organizing and activism against police violence in the region. When federal agents flooded the Twin Cities in January in a massive effort to round up immigrants, he felt compelled to step up, he said: “It was a federal invasion and terror campaign on our streets. The behavior of these masked thugs was horrific … they were ripping human beings out of families.”"

@remixtures Incorrect. What really is happening is that ICE needed to be created after decades upon decades of socialist, "light touch" immigration policy.
You cannot have a welfare state with free immigration, because naturally it creates the incentive for immigrants to go there to get fat and happy on government money, and send it back to their relatives back home.
Ending illegal immigration does not need a surveillance state, it only needs strong borders. Within the borders, freedom reigns.
@h4890 That's absolutely bullshit: https://www.npr.org/2026/01/21/nx-s1-5674887/ice-budget-funding-congress-trump. You're ruining whole economies because of your nativist deliriums. The USA in particular is a country of immigrants that was created from stealing and plundering land from the local natives.
@remixtures Incorrect. Show me proof of ownership of the land, and I'll believe you. Absent contracts, ownership registers etc. the natives were roaming around, not owning anything.
The white man blessed them with science, progress and has turned what was an empty continent into the world most powerful country with one of the highest living standards on the planet.
Meanwhile the natives were killing each other, invented slavery, human sacrifice, and their evil empires (if we look south)
@remixtures were defeated and civilized by white culture and the power of Christ.
Go to the white house, and click yourself to the real US history.
Don't be fooled by socialist and neo-marxist propaganda. The white man rules, and will always rule. You can ask any non-white person about it, and they will admit that western societies are preferable to shithole countries and that is why immigrants flock.
