ICE protesters<\/a> want to end or drastically reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement, calling for an “Abolish ICE” movement due to concerns about inhumane treatment, family separations, excessive force, lack of training, and the agency’s perceived overreach, with demands including ending detention centers, protecting immigrant communities, and greater accountability for agents, sometimes pushing for redirection of funds to social services instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n***<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sounds like Defund the Police. They also wanted kinder, gentler, more sensitive law enforcement and thought the way to get it was to replace police officers with social workers. That was First Order Thinking. But remember how Defund the Police turned out? The consequences were not as hoped. The very communities of color they intended to protect got worse as perpetrators realized lawlessness and violence were now tolerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering the consequences before taking action is Second Order Thinking and it didn’t happen then. It’s not happening now. Protesters and their Democrat enablers should consider the end result they desire, not just the intermediate step, lest they unleash on their communities the same lawlessness and violence which resulted from the Defund the Police movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unless, of course, that IS the objective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
